"I've never seen a repair kit for Whitworth stuff; if it exists you'll spend 
an arm and a leg for it."

Whitworth thread repair kits are made by Uni-thread, and they are not that 
expensive.  However, like helicoil, they are for repairing tapped holes, not 
bolts or screws.
I have all the common sizes which use on my old Brit bikes and have 
successfully have repaired many threads from chain cover fasteners to the 
hole for a cylinder head stud.

These guys below are in New York somewhere and have been helpful to me in 
the past, but I am pretty sure Uni-thread will be available as an order 
through your local parts supplier. They are made in Oz for all you lucky 
down-unders.
