Heavens. Isn=E2=80=99t that another question raised? Are our chassis =
strong enough to tow or be towed? I guess there=E2=80=99s a steel plate =
involved somewhere? My MkII=E2=80=99s chassis looks pretty good =
=E2=80=93 I believe - but I wonder if it=E2=80=99s as strong as it once =
was.
I just have visions of the Healey standing still and the bolt being =
towed out of the chassis.

Thanks to all. Heli-coil sounds like the way to go. I should have =

Any good mechanical thread repair method will result in a stronger =
female thread that the standard hole. The Heli-coil rep used to do a =
demo with a sheet of aluminum and a grade 8 bolt. He would screw the =
bolt in the hole, and strip the threads. He would then install a =
heli-coil and screw the same bolt in and proceed to break the grade 8 =
bolts and the new larger diameter thread of the thread repair was =
stronger than the original bolt.=20
My advise is get a good thread repair kit (heli-coil, time sert, etc) =
and repair the hole, no need to weld it first.
