where the bolts go in is it plastic or metal? if plastic you might try a screw thats a little bit bigger, if metal maybe some JB weld might do the trick.

If I were you, I''d try to find a junk-yard distributor to swap in. To fix it, you''ll likely have to remove it. I''d just rather find a good core to swap in and be done with it.
