Re: stripped threads

quick fix would be to slap an expansion plug in it... those little rubber plugs that you twist the back of and they expand... you could also get some of that thread repair stuff they sell at autozone... its not helicoil its a liquid that you use to reform threads. supposed to be a perm fix never tried that though.
