[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 195987, member: 3972"] Aww hell. Sorry about that. I would think a helicoil would work just fine. But it will need to be the RIGHT size...short. it can't protrude inside of the tensioner hole at all. I might even be tempted to just replace that stud with...maybe a ¼" setup. It would take someone with a OLD CT kinda eye to ever spot the change. That stud does a pretty small amount of work. It only ever needs to be snug...not too tight at all...same with the jamb nut. A ¼" tap might just cut right into that damaged hole. For that matter, a ¼" tap might just cut right in to a 6mm/10mm nut too..? Even Pat might be fooled by that kind of magic. [/QUOTE]
