This may or may not help...

A few years ago, I repaired a stripped insert which holds the rear trailing arm 
on a 914.
I found something called "Fix-a-thread" (I think, made by Loctite) at a NAPA 
auto store.
It's supposed to be able to take up to something like 70lb. ft of torque.  
Rather than
tapping, I think I put the material on a bolt, and threaded it into the 
remainders of the
original threads.  It's still holding strong, although I put in a much longer 
bolt and put
a locknut on the end of it, just in case.
