Do what I have done and put some metal plates on the top of the holes, with a leather riser pad underneath to stop scratching.

 

I have also made inserts for the drop through holes to stop any flexing within that area.  But I still have yet to ride it...

Just some old ply wood that was the same thickness.  I made mine so they slide tightly in place, but can be removed for versatility...
