did my 1944 BR by putting in lathe smoothing just about full depth of thread and install a piece of helicoil over the old thread to make the same size as the new. Have also done the reverse in carb mounting holes by drilling out oversize and installing thread back to new size. If you do this just make sure you run a thread die over the helicoil so you size properly and don't damage the thread in the brass bowl nut. Good Luck Paul
