Mitch :
I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about or not, but there are
commercially available thread repair inserts that have a solid body and are
quite strong. They take a larger hole than a heli-coil, so they're ideal
for holes where heli-coils have failed, and use a standard tap so they cost
less if you're only doing a few of them. They're available in a variety of
sizes, thicknesses and materials, for example McMaster-Carr
http://www.mcmaster.com/
has P/N 92070A115 which is steel, threaded 1/4-20 inside and goes in a
3/8-16 hole.
NFI, etc. just a satisfied customer
