My last resort is a Recoil 23603 3/8 x16 UNC thread repair kit. It has a short shank drill bit that i can fit in, and then rethread to correct dimensions for coil and then stud. I was toying with the idea of Devcon and all that, but it would just be a bodge job.. i am hoping for everlasting peace when this is done.....
Again, sounds familiar....
