If the metal plate is thick, I'd probably see about just tapping a thread into it.

I definitely hit metal, saw plenty of shavings and subsequently I have found out that what I drilled into is a 1 1/4" x 3" x 3/8 aluminum block in there.
I have neither the tools nor the expertise to do a proper fix, e.g. tapping threads for a machine screw or making hole a bit larger; fill it with marine-tex re-drill and then using supplied screws.
Anybody have a suggestion of a local shop that could do this for me?
