Another thought would be to have the old hole welded up and then drill a new hole and tap it. My local weld shop guy can weld cast iron, aluminum, steel, stainless. He can't weld unknown magnesium alloys though. I was just there today having an aluminum casting filled and drilled. He had a magnesium dock plate for a forklift there that he had tried to repair. The welds kept cracking because he couldn't find the right alloy rod/wire/fill rod. Live and learn. Every municipality needs a semi-retired welder/machinist to open a shop. If yours doesn't have one, I am sure my local welder fellow can get it done for betweeen a hundred to ahundred and fifty bucks. Send it along and I will get it done for you. Just another thought.
