Rusty cast metal bracket and a worn bolt on a wooden workbench

I had to drill out the passenger side bolt. The points were completly rusted and gone. I'm pissed at myself that I ended up being off center becasue I got impatient. All in all I think I am lucky. It didn't break all the way through, so I think I can still mount it. I'll just get a flat headed bolt and nut with some washers to secure it. I'm just not looking forward to completely disassembling the auto hub, and brakes just to reinstall the shield. Thanks Ford for the assbackwards engineering.
