I ordered a new ICM mounting bracket for my 2001 LeSabre but the holes for the screws that hold the coils on are not threaded so there is no way to attach the coils to the bracket.

Has anyone else run into this and is the easiest thing to do is just get a tap and thread the holes myself? Parts department says it’s the correct bracket.

Maybe I'm missing something but why was this part ordered in the first place?
 
Thanks! I’ll just tap the holes myself.

Yep, it’s an unusual part to replace but I broke several of the cooling fins when doing the UIM/LIM. I found the new part for $15 so it was a cheap fix.

I've done 5 or 6 UIMs and have never broken that pedestal/mount. I don't think it has to be removed.
