Default PS box bolts broke

Camping this weekend my bolts in the power steering box broke .i was thinking about drilling them out and nut and bolt it with some grade 8's also weld on a plate to give it some strength. Has any body had this problem before?

Yea mine broke. It was leaking so I just replaced it all together. And used the same bolts.
They break cause they get seized. I put anti seize on them.

Nuts and bolts has not worked for many. Check out the back side of the box where the bolts come through. There is not much or any room to work with for nuts or washers. It is easier to stick with tapped holes...ha!
