I dunno man....  I used to work at an aerospace manufacturing
company, and IIRC heli-coils were considered stronger than plain
tapped threads.  We put them in aluminum and steel.  I think the end
of the "frame horn" as I've heard it called is open if you remove the
entire friggin' bumber assembly, which might allow welding the other
side.  No good suggestions, really.

If you tapped it one diameter over could you still get the bolt
through the bracket?
