Thanks guys. I will try the epoxy as that sounds the most simplest fix. Baysup, what is the Helicoil Thread Repair Kit? Is the Helicoil stronger? Thanks.
helicoil thread made of steel so yes stronger
Pretty much what I did, except I filled the hole with sun-cure epoxy resin. (might be the same thing they meant). I haven't drilled or tapped the hole yet, cos I'm waiting for some more sun so i can let the epoxy resin set. I was just gonna drill and screw the grub screw in, and not tap the thread first.
The deeper resin in the hole takes longer to harden cos there's no sun light getting down there and coming home from work after sunset doesn't help my cause.
