All -
On my Atlantic, the quarter light (vent window) latch is secured to the
frame with a special head 3BA screw.
The threads in the frame are stripped so the screw won't seat.
Anyone have any idea where I can get a 3BA helicoil kit? or is there
another solution that might work? The screw is very special, so I can't
really put another screw in there. Is there a way I can use JB weld or some
other type of adhesive that repairs threads?
I do have a 3BA tap, but the hole is so shallow I don't think a tap will be
much help.
