[Tigers] Remote Filter Part Repair?

[Bill Waite]

I was late seeing the auction that just finished on e-Bay (thanks to those who
suggested it).  The reason I'm looking for the part is that I managed to screw
up the threads in the fitting that the filter seats against.  I'm talking
about the female threaded part that the end of the "short" hose threads into.

Has anyone repaired that part using an insert or some other method? 
Otherwise, I'm still looking for a replacement.  I'm starting to restore our
Mark I and this is just one of a 1000 things on my list. 

Thanks,
