Are they round holes. Punched in the chassis? There are quite a few.
The handbrake can be a pain. Look at these threads.

there are about 4 holes in a line near to the body mount out rigger and the hand brake is holding it on a set of ramps at mo so i think its workin

What I mean is, are they rust holes or were they put there by Isuzu?

there definitly rust as there irregular and have sharp edges

In that case they will have to be welded up.
If you know someone with a MiG it will be just beer money, a garage will charge a bit more,
but at least it is accessable and will not require the carpets and things to be stripped out.
