I'm gonna try:
top left - drill out the bracket pad right next to the 'R1' legend
bott left - the small bare spot between the legends 'R5' and 'RT4'
top right - directly between U15 and the edge
bott right - in the extreme corner
Larry points out the need to use a smaller diameter head and thread
size. I'd go one further and use a nylon bolt, just to be 100% safe.
