Caliper Mounting Bolts, the holes have gone !

Guys

Came to do the suspension on the car and everything looking sweet until I went to put the caliper back on, the bolts had pulled the thread out of the hole with them (they must of thought it was christmas or something !), has anyone had this happen before if so or not do you rekon I need a new suspension housing and have some caliper bolt holes with thread ?

one of the two allen key long bolts was stripped on the bit it threads into when i got mine, i put super strength threadlock grade for repairing damaged threads on it and tightened it up till the threads started to slip and left it light that, ive had it like that for over 2 years now., if you do it and it falls off though, dont blame me!

I've never heard of them doing that, i guess its from over tightening rather than using threadlock...
I don't know but couldn't you fill it up with weld re-drill and tap? to keep it stock size that is.. :-S also. maybe a bad idea lol.. I'd probably do that or get a new woooberry..
