Fuel pump mounting

One of the holes for my fuel pump bolts has somehow stripped so my fuel pump is hanging on by 1 bolt rather low. Anyone have any good solutions other than retapping the hole? Thinking that might just prove to be a PITA. Also, anyone just happen to know that bolt size?

Thanks

I'd actually do that, but there is no way to actually get the tie back out of the rail Maybe I'll just buy a new car instead .

Guess I'm gonna have to do that. I need to get under there and replace the fuel lines anyway. They are actually wet on the outside with fuel. Could explain why I get 10-11mpg. Time for that GSL I'm eying .
