Stripped one of the mounting threads for the two halves of my Lucas handlebar switch.
Looks like not enough material to put in a helicoil. Next best approach would be to full
the hole with JB Weld and then drill and tap it?
Oh I know I should just source another half but hate to toss original bits.
Comments welcome.

Maybe tap it out to the next closest metric screw. Sometimes they size up in between two SAE (or what ever is on your switch gear) sizes.
