Just slide a plastic cable tie inside the hole(s) with damaged threads and then use the old screws.

Great idea! I actually bought a replacement scrap yard box that came with a Denso MAF (i6 original) and both work flawlessly. I now have a spare MAF sensor. In my specific case, the MAF screw threads were worn out likely by the previous owner. You solution is filed for any future need. |

I've inserted part or all of a wall plug into plastic things that have lost their thread - does the same thing. Jules |

I used some larger self tappers. Common sense isn't very common.

I seem to be losing my understanding of the English language.
