Default Broken Stud in Throttle Body

The other day, came back from a run and checked over the car...The air filter was twisted and loose on the Roush 342RE motor.

The air filter adapter stud had broken off inside the throttle body!

I removed it and am waiting for a call-back from the people at Roush.

Has anyone experienced this problem? If so, other than replace the adapter using the same soft aluminum billet piece, what did you use?

Below are a couple of pics showing the broken piece and where it was located.

The 1st shows where it snapped off inside the throttle body.
The 2nd shows the billet piece plus the screrw that goes thru the filter into the adapter.
Last is the piece that snapped off.

I will apreciate your feedback and...
Thanks, Ivan
