I've used thread inserts successfully (helicoil, etc.). It's a standard 3/8x24
("fine") thread--which might be a little less common than "coarse"--but my
favorite local parts house was able to order a kit for me. Works a treat.
If it's one of the inboard nuts you might need a right-angle drill attachment
and/or a stubby drill bit to avoid the inside of the fender well.

Subject: [Healeys] Stripped Nut on the Shock Mount
Of the four bolts holding the shock in place on the left front, I have one
that is stripped. I tried a new bolt and it spins.
What steps are recommended to replace the threads on the nut side?
Thanks,
Michael
