You might consider the way I went, Somewhat cheaper than the Helicoils
advised by Lawrie and david.
McMaster-Carr sells a M8-1 ID X M12-1.25 OD threaded insert for $2.41
Ea. Assuming you have a M12-1.25 tap and a 10.8 drill bit the only
additional cost is $25.80 for the installation tool or you can buy 6
inserts w/installation tool in a kit for $37.53.If interested contact me
directly for p/n's etc.

Best of Luck
