Stripped out fuel pump mounting hole

i don't see why everyone's getting there panty's in a bunch, the op has not responded yet.

yes, there's responses that made me say "what?!?!?!" (in high tone) but until scott says something back, what's the deal? he has a couple of clear options, he's no dummy, let him respond...........there could be good reasons to him why he's weighing the options, patience.

occasionally i will ask for an opinion just to make sure that my thinking is in line with those that are well respected here, not that i need someone to tell me what to do.
