    Fixable but spendy. Lots of tack welding (filling) or use a back-up piece of scrap steel and tack weld.
    Either way, to do it right, it'll cost you.

    Lol no I never used the proper tool to install the rivnuts because I quickly changed my mind and gave the lightbar away to a friend who bolted it to the hood of his Volvo station wagon :rofl:

    The holes are still there to this day...
