Instead of addressing the metal, maybe think about rebuilding the rubber part on the old ones instead.

Some more info on those Kevin. Those came in hard and soft versions. The part number you listed is the hard ones. The cheapest I've found those is $9.52/ea. However, I found the soft version in an aftermarket replacement for $2.64/ea. That would give you a whole set of 6 for only $15.84, only $23.79 shipped. Anyone know what thread these would be? The OEM PN for these is 501269704.

Sure why not? I mean that must be so simple.
I would, but they're not a sponsor Send me a PM. Keep in mind, the only way you can use the ones for a metal tank is if you can install steel inserts.Could you share your source for the 2.64 aftermarket part?

Here's another technique that could be used. This is along the lines of what Rob said...to double thread the tank with these for the plastic tank. Buy and extra mount. Remove the rubber part. Cut a couple vertical lines in the first few threads of the stud and use it as a tap. The idea is to make the stud look something like a self-threading sheet metal screw.

Another old saws lives again. She's all back together and running. I had to put one washer between each AV mount and the case. You'll note earlier where I mentioned these were just a hair shorter. I'm very pleased with the results and would do it exactly the same way had I to do it again. Thanks for everyone's input and contributions to this thread.
So how did you do it? Thread the new ones in to cut new threads? Pics?
I chucked one of these mounts in the lathe but could not cut it without it jumping loose. So, while it was turning in the lathe, I used a file to remove what ended up being just the top of the threads. Had I been going to 10-24, I could have removed all of the coarse threads. As it turned out, I was still able to cut quite decent threads in these studs and they're successfully installed on the saw. I did have to shorten the studs a little. I'll pick up some new M5-.8 screws to fasten the crankcase to the new mounts, and be good to go.
