Hey Jeff
        Had a similar problem with the bolts into the front oul pan.  i 
used a tap and a T-handle and rethreaded it out to a metric because it 
is just slightly larger.   Large enough to catch into new metal - 
aluminum in that area - withoug being extra large as the next size up 
Imperial bolt would be.
        Tighten the bolt CAREFULLY, I disregarded the torque wrench 
settings on that one and its holding for 6 months so far.

Cheeers, Fred
