Stripped thread on engine casing

Post by Sam-NI » Mon Oct 15, 2012 9:55 am

On the genny side of the engine, the thread has been stripped on one of the bolt holes. I discovered this when changing the genny cover gasket. It's the bolt that has the nipple (tehe) next to it, that holds the lug for the clutch cable in place.

Whats the best way to repair this?
