Ford Van Brake Caliper Challenge Revisited

On Saturday I tackled removing the broken e-z out from the steering knuckle on my 1979 Ford van and was successful in removing the offending hardened tool piece. I took my time and gingerly ground out an access area with my Dremel tool (after reading about the process on the Internet). With some persuasion from a hammer and drift I was able to extract the piece with a pair of pliers. I re-drilled the hole and ran a tap into the hole and created new threads. The first 1/8 to 3/16 of the hole is damaged from the e-z out extraction but there is still about 5/16 of an inch of threads available for the bolt and with a torque value of 17ft pounds I am sure the treads are adequate for the bolt tightening..To be on the safe side I applied some JB Weld to the opening and created additional material for threading. The bolt is now securely housed and given it is just a "stop" for the sliding caliper bracket I am comfortable the fix is "fit for purpose" I will examine the bolt for tightness once I have a few kilometers on the vehicle. I figure my "bolt breaking" fubar took 4 hours to correct and cost me $30 (including the cost of the broken e-z out) to remedy. All  avoidable if I had taken some time to "evaluate" the situation to determine my next steps before blindly proceeding in a "forceful" way..a good lesson learned on many fronts...
