Make a paper template of the chassis base.

This is a regular hexagon with a diameter of 300mm (the radius and each
side is 150mm)
chasis
 
use the template to cut out 2 chassis panels.

NOTE: use the same template to make both panels. clamp them together and
trim this to shape as though it is one panel. Do not unclamp the panels
until you have marked them so that they can be re-assembed into on piece
(mark them with a key)

Use a small piece of 0.5mm sheet steel to make a guard.

Drill a hole in the guard the same size of very slightly larger than the
screw.

Place the guard over the screw (the screw fitting through the hole)
chasis
 
Use a small grinding wheel on a hand drill to grind down the screw end.

Be careful not to let the grinding wheel slip off the guard otherwise
the finish of the chassis plastic will be spoiled
