i'd have to take the tankcover off. i replaced the screws with the threaded ones. i kept having to get bigger screws because the holes were getting "wallerd"(its a southern thing) out. i took these and pressed them on a piece of pressure treated wood and "5200"ed them to the bottom of the lip the deck plate fits in. i then got the bolts to fit and snugged them down let it set 3 days and now i have a mech fastner not a screw hole.
