I can't specifically answer your question, but a good welder (I'm not) can probably fill the holes and retap? I believe your spacers are helicoils. What happened to yours is that the piece got loose and broke the casting. It is doubtful that it broke simply from stress if tight. My 460 almost had that problem as that hitch was loose when I bought it and the hitch itself was cracked. I had it welded. However, if the helicoils in yours are in the plate (hitch) as opposed to the belly, my hitch was not threaded. Although I vaguely remember seeing remnants of threads in the holes -- I'm not eager to take it off and look. I suppose if both the hitch was threaded in addition to the casting, it would be more stable. There was (still is) a missing piece of casting behind the axle housing where the fast hitch attaches, but there are ample threads there to allow it to be tightened. That area is one that no one looks at until it is too late. Yours and mine had obvious abuse due to lack of maintenance.
