Never done this on a Rover before but used this method in the past, it depends how long the bolts are, anyway what you do is carefully file a taper on the bolt making sure that the thread still has a good lead on it, what I mean by this is where the thread meets the taper the thread should look the same as before it was filed, depending how long the bolts are determines the length of the taper,what this dose is give you that little extra bit of play and helps line the hole up, worked for me, did put a dab of thread lock on to make sure the bolt held, checked after 10 and 100 miles solid as a rock.
