TN Big problem guys.. need your help (Ignition coil bolt)

Recently I noticed that when I revved my 05 AT to redline i got a loss of power and a flashing cell around 6k.. so I searched on here and found that I probably needed to replace my ignition coils

I read up on the DIYs and everything and everything was going pretty good until we were tightening the bolt onto the last one -- The bolt snapped off right where it tightens to on the coil.

after some debate we decided the only way we could really get my car back on the road at least for temporary was to drill down part of the ignition coil where the bolt feeds through so we could still use what little bit of bolt nub was left to hold it in place until i could replace the plate thing with the bolt in it.

so basically my question is - what is the name of the part the ignition coils bolt onto - and do you think it would be that hard to replace.? it didn't look like it would be that hard, but I just have no idea what it is called or where I can get one.. any ideas?

i snapped one of the bolts off too. heh, luckily there was still enough to get a bolt on there though.

you could just drill through the plate and put a bolt through both the plate and the coil.

Just remove the plate, drill a hole (like kersh4w mentioned), and add a bolt.

Yeah, that was the other option... but we didn't want to remove the plate last night, and we decided that if I was going to remove the plate, I would do it the right way and just replace it completely... do anybody know what it's called or where I can get one?
