Stator Magneto Cover Carnage

Stator Magneto Cover Carnage
Hello folks,
Just bought this LT230s a month ago...it wasn't running when I got it and I knew it was going to be a project, of course I hoped a few simple fixes and I could at least ride her once. That didn't happen. So far I've rebuilt the carb and got her running - but then she died. No spark. I tested all the coils and discovered the primary coil wasn't even giving a reading. So off comes the Magneto/stator cover and this is what I discoverd:
I've ordered the primary coil from regulatorrectifier.com - cheapest I could find at $39.99
Stator Coil LT230S LT 230S Quadsport Suzuki
But since the screws really did a number on the case I need a new case too. Anybody got one for cheap?

I was hoping something cheaper then ebay.
But I guess $160 is the cheapest
The the flywheel and the primary coil iron where rubbing together, it loosened the magnets on the flywheel and took off quite a bit of material- the flywheel is a paper weight now
If I tapped new holes I guess it might work...thanks for the comment
I was thinking of drilling right thru and bolting the stator in, but that might leak over time. Tapping might work if I can find countersunk screws that would fit.

you're right its not that bad, I managed to drill out the holes a little larger and retap them - The screws are about double the size now.
i don't need a flywheel anymore I just bought one on ebay for $25 shipping included
Thanks for the offer
I think I've got all the parts to fix this now so please disregard my request for a magneto cover earlier
