[DeTomaso] Holley Carb Air Cleaner Stud Hole Thread Repair

[Will Kooiman]

Or cut threads one size larger.

Or if it really bothers you, buy a new body.  They're not that expensive, and they're really easy to change.

I think I recall having that happen to us when I was in high school, and I think we JB welded a stud - just like you suggested.  That was a really long time ago, though, so maybe I'm not remembering it correctly.

       Doug,
       How deep are the stripped threads? Would a longer stud length get down
       to good threads?

         It doesn't look like there's enough metal there to install a
       Heli-Coil.
         Has anyone run into this before and found successful repair method?
         My only thought is J-B Weld.
