i so stupid!!
put the wrong bolt on, and i couldint get it back out. it had no threads. so i tryed to lift it up and see if i couldcatch the threads on the bolt. i feel so bad....
What are my options.Is itnot as bad as it looks? can i bring it to a shop and get the hole welded and have a custom brace for the intake made?

i did the exact same thing a while back. and now knowing that someone else did it too i dont feel as dumb. but my intake doesnt mount there anymore so i never did anything to fix mine.

I would take it to a local welding shop, a good welder can fix you up real quick and cheap, all you care about is that it is located properly, if there is room you could weld on a plate that had a self locating nut mounted to it.

it works 
ive done it before on several lawn mowers and a few small plastic trim panel clips on my old truck that striped out.
that stuff drys SUPER HARD!!!!! and as long as you smooth it out before it dries its easy to paint right over and youll never know it was ever damaged...
