Small bust disasterous problem please help

athletichunta · Nov 21, 2010

2 of the mounting bolt holes are stripped and the bolt won't screw in anymore.

I have no idea how to go about fixing this, can some please help me out. Thanks so much in advance.

The holes that are stripped are circled.

I don't know what those are, Ile try to look into it. I heard it might work wit a bigger screw?.

the holes (m6) can be tapped larger to 1/4-20 threads without drilling

"Small bust - disasterous problem!" No. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to take the bait. I shall resist temptation. No venturing into the gutter for me today.
