Didn't seem like it took much, even was using my torque wrench at 10nM, and managed to strip one of the bolts holes.  So, what's everyones favorite way of fixing these??  Helicoil, threaded plug?  Tap larger?  It's the middle one to the front of the engine.

Thanks

I would try to keep the original bolt, by using a time-sert.


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The top bolt in the slave cyclinder on my 91 was buggered up by the previous owner, I retapped the hole to use a 1/4'' bolt in its place. It's been in there for 100,000 miles no worries..
