The more I look at this, the more I think I may get away with it - here's why:
The threaded portion of the flange seems to be intact (I can thread a bolt in there no problem, all the way through) - the bolt seems to have only been in half a turn or so, and has popped the non threaded portion - so when I torque down the bolt in there, all of the pressure will be going into solid flange, not a join.
