"I've never seen a repair kit for Whitworth stuff; if it exists you'll spend
an arm and a leg for it."
Whitworth thread repair kits are made by Uni-thread, and they are not that
expensive. However, like helicoil, they are for repairing tapped holes, not
bolts or screws.
I have all the common sizes which use on my old Brit bikes and have
successfully have repaired many threads from chain cover fasteners to the
hole for a cylinder head stud.
These guys below are in New York somewhere and have been helpful to me in
the past, but I am pretty sure Uni-thread will be available as an order
through your local parts supplier. They are made in Oz for all you lucky
down-unders.
