Milenco Security Hand Rail

I have one of these on my Triton, it was already fitted when I bought it, and I'd like to remove it. I don't like the rail, it reminds me of something very old people use to get out of the bath, but what can be done with the holes that are left after removal. Any advice would be appreciated.

Andy, you cannot bin the holes.
Alan, how many holes, what size, and is there any damage or deformation around the holes.

Why not Colin, do you develop a fondness for your holes?

No, but I'm very good at digging them, in more than one sense.

Andy, I'm not talking to you anymore

Colin, I haven't removed the rail yet but I believe it is held on with eight M6 bolts.

Alan,
you are not going to be able to hide the holes so it will be a job of neatly filling them.
How about buying some stainless steel round head machine screws and filing the head down until the screwdriver recess has gone. You could them set these into the holes with some mastic.
Alternatively some aluminium snap, mushroom or flat head rivets could be neater. These are more difficult to come across and are still usually imperial in size so you would need to drill the holes out a little larger before bedding them in on mastic.
Best to avoid silicon as the acetic acid in it can react with the aluminium.

I'd leave it there Alan and hang a towel on it

Preferably, a peshtemal one so that we can find out what they're like

Colin, you've convinced me that it's too much trouble and not worth the effort.

Roger, you've convinced me that there is an alternative use for it.

Andy, you've convinced me that my decision not to talk to you ever ever again was correct.

You sound like a wise man to me. Where are the other two hiding.

Melchior has gone looking for his cat and Gaspar has popped out for a drag.
