[QUOTE="whiplash473, post: 1519750, member: 17027"] another option would be to go with the next size larger SAE and tap new threads. I should remember as it was just a week ago that I had mine off but it’s either an M6 or M8 in there from the factory. If it’s an M6 you could grab a 1/4-20 screw and just hold it up to the hole and see if you think that would be enough to work. If it’s an M8 you’ll probably have to go up to a 3/8-16. But that really doesn’t seem right - too big. So give the 1/4-20 a shot. Just be careful to call it quits when you feel it bottom out. With it being aluminum this should be easy enough to tell.
