Do you suppose the eye straps, even the solid round ones (which I prefer), are flexible enough to fit if they have slightly different measurements?
I think that I would find it easier to fill one of the holes (both if that's the only way to cover the holes) with thickened epoxy, with Cab-o-sil, and re-drill. Back it up with some fender washers and you should be good to go.
