I know you can use a Helicoil to fix this problem...called around everyone local and nobody has them in stock, going to be 4-5 days to ship them in, I have about... 12 hours to get my jeep fixed (it's my DD)
I also read that you can poop some weld into the threads and redrill and retap the hole for the caliper mount... I have access to a welder...a 110v mig Flux Core and a 220v Arc - Will either of these be up to the job?
We tried cleaning it up with a tap last night but the beginning threads are beyond fucked... I could run a longer bolt but I want to do this right...
Off hand what should the hole be tapped to? A tap that looked like it would work was 5/16,
