Actually Price there is probably an easier solution.
The thread is in a tube which has a thread cut in each end and an unthreade=
d section between the threads.
I would suggest tapping the tube a little deeper and using a longer bolt.

My advise is get a good thread repair kit (heli-coil, time sert, etc) and r=
