Rick, Since you are asking all the right questions, you know all the right answers :) Doing it the best way is not always the easiest. Drill oversize, fill, redrill. Might as well remove some of the core while you are at it. Bent nail job. Why are you changing the track? Going to a windward sheeting system? If so I would be interested in what gear you are using.

Morning all,
I'm looking for advice on how to handle thru-holes when replacing the traveler track on the cockpit sole of a 2005 M17. The new track holes should line up with the existing 4" centered holes, so I plan to re-use those holes. Can I just remove and replace, or should I fill the holes with epoxy and re-drill? If they should be filled, should I drill them out a little oversize, or fill them as is? Of these three possibilities I would obviously prefer the first, but I don't want to store up future problems.
Thanks in advance for suggestions,
