  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What about re threading the striped threads then use a new bolt tosuit the
Threads . You may need a crush washer for it . If this not an option what about a helicoill
 
jb weld. Well...Try to tap it to clean it up first with a new bolt. Or try to tap to the next size up. If all else fails both + jb weld. :(
 
Since its just a plug and doesn't have to hold anything together, you might want to try wrapping the threads with some teflon tape.
 
The threads in the hole are completely gone... the bolt can be pushed into the hole all the way.....the hole is pretty much smooth!
 
I bet you could tap to a English size....find a good quality nut and bolt place or machine shop you know, bring in the bolt with its size and get the next one up. Sometimes that is all it takes! I would do this vs. helicoil.
