There is a filler called "Alumi-weld" that is like a solder but works well
and finishes strong.

Subject: [oletrucks] How to fix stripped holes on
hood ornaments and emblems.
Hi group:
Recently purchased a hood bird for my 57 GMC and when I went
to mount it
discivered that the two back mounting holes were stripped
out. Well I filled
the holes with JB weld, drilled and retapped, no luck
holding. Then I tried
permatex thread restorer (the epoxy stuff where you screw in
and out the bolt
in five munutes and then let cure for 30 minutes, says it
will take 150 ft.
lbs. of torque - yea right!), no luck holding. Hole walls
probably too thin
to go a size larger and retap.
OK group lets hear some suggestions!!!!
