Dave,
I would suggest using a linseed oil or tube seal then use a Monel or Stainless rivet with some hysol epoxy to seal the holes.
Fly Safe !!

Subject: how to deal with drilled holes.
The three holes in the brace behind the pilots head, and another three on the other side were left when an old advisory changed the fuel system relocating the fuel taps slightly. These have been left as is for a couple hundred hours of flight but I am hot sure that leaving them open is the best idea. I have the idea that sealing or filling them is required/desirable. How or what is the best way to seal these up? Or should I ignore them?

When inhibiting tube frames we used double boiled linseed oil. A small hole was drilled at a corner and a quantity of oil was injected using a syringe. The frame was rotated in all directions over a period of days then the excess oil was drained out. A stainless steel self tapping screw was inserted to seal the frame. The screw was an indicator that the frame had been inhibited.
