That's the most worry some part about a belt change. When I did mine one of the bolts into the aluminum mounting bracket on the engine felt odd coming out. Sure enough, the threads were stripped. I bought a new bracket, but I wonder if the old bracket could get threadcerts and be just as good?

yes, it is pretty common for stripped brackets to get helicoils to repair them.
