WOW Tim...holy moly...glad it didnt waste this motor one you...most average folks wouldnt have been able to save it...its good you are as sharp as you are!!
Would it work to fill the holes with silicone and then punch a very small hole through it with something sharp...like the tip of a drywall screw...then put the regular screws in through the hole? Could use any color silicone...even clear...
Maybe theres a better idea but seems it would be easy and workable...
Lord send your Holy Ghost into our hearts and make the desire of our hearts Your Will.
