Alternator housing mount worn out..... 200 1987

The alternator on my 87 245 had some side to side movement - not much but enough to be a bother.

I went to install urethane utility bushing today, and the rubber bushings were fine - then I looked at the lower mount holes on the alternator housing, and they were worn oval..

So the slop is due to the housing, not the bushings.

Has anyone heard of a fix for this??
What about filling with something like JB's metalweld, and then redrill???
I might even try fibreglass and resin then redrill.

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance
