Brent,
I woulnt use JB weld for that, I just dont trust that it would hold, and
there
is a lot at stake if it does not.
You could have an "insert" put in. Not quite the same as a helicoil,
which BTW might also work out.
I had trouble finding a 1/4-28 insert when I did this to mine, so
I used a 1/4-20 insert instead. The HW is not quite stock, but the
function is correct.
