[Healeys] Stripped Bolt

[Bob Spidell]

Why not use a Helicoil or equivalent? I've used them in shock mount holes and they've held up.

I have stripped a non-essential bolt in the frame and want to replace it on my BJ8. I really don’t want to drill it out, re-tap it and use a larger bolt for visual reasons. I don’t have access to a welding machine (probably a good thing). Is there a way to re-fill the hole and tap it to the correct size? There could be a lot of stress on the bolt.
