Common problem. It happens a lot. Check the bone yard, you should be able to get another one

If there is not hurry and you pay for all shipping you could send it to me and I'll make a better one out of stainless steel. I'd make a few exta also.

Yeah, this weekend sucks. I am 100miles from home and blew out my front tire. Spare don't fit so I had to pull the rear off and slap it up front and install the spare on the back.

Anywho, good luck with the bolt and chit.

Couldn't you put a heli-coil in that small piece? Is the internal or external threads stripped?
