I ended up drilling and retapping those, and also chased EVERY hole with the tap, and of course used anti-seize for reassembly. My brother in law does powder coating, so I had the shield sandblasted and powder coated gloss black before putting that back on. I drove for a couple of months without it because I was dreading having to drill out the broken hardware, the worst of which was that angled one above the driveshaft! Had to use a small right angle drill attachment to get in there to do that, and then a long pulley tap for the threads. I preferred doing it that way to dropping the driveshaft, but was prepared to do that if I had to. Man do I wish they’d do a frame recall on these!
