How did you do with the capture nuts? Will you reuse this fastening design?

I had only 5 bolts twist off and 1 cage fall apart and allow the capture nut to spin... The twisted off bolts I just drilled and tapped new threads and the spinning capture nut case was just ground off and a bolt and nut was used. I was lucky with the firewall flange as only one bolt broke off. It was easy to drill and tap out some new threads. So in the end, for the most part, yes I am re-using the capture nut and cage setups... The vehicle is actually rather clean and rust free for a northwest vehicle. The floor pan is fairly clean and rust free even which is the reason for saving for restoration.
