I would have rethreaded the hole with a bigger thread, and potentially put in a helicoil. But then I have the tools to do that...

The nut and the epoxy proved to be a success, thanks again guys

That won't be very durable. Get a bit of threaded rod and cut it to the right length, put a nut either side of the female threaded portion? Won't have to rely on araldite then :p

[NUT]{THREADED PART}[NUT](--------------THREADED ROD--------------)

Would that work?

Re: Stripped thread, need a quick fix

I had the same problem and just used a nut to keep it in place. It's difficult to get a socket in there but if you use a flat head screwdriver you can "Wedge" the nut to keep it from turning as you tighten. I used a washer and lock washer so I could torque it down nice and tight!

It won't go anywhere.

Same, I don't know what I'd do without my tools ( mabey not get as much ear ache of my mum for spending insane amounts on snap-on and such ) :D

Re: Stripped thread, need a quick fix

you have a few option`s one is tap a thread of a bigger size and use a bigger bolt

the other option is to use epoxy or ptfe tape to take up space and get it stuck in there.
