Good suggestions but also consider a couple of other alternatives.
Heli-coil inserts, and or Mold-in insert. The last is/was a product made
by
Permatex. You would clean out the damaged thread area of debris, put in
an
epoxy type material in the hole with the intended bolt inserted into the
mixture. The bolt being used would be coated with an anti-seize compound
so
that it would not adhere to the mixture. After the mixture hardened/
cured
you would screw out the bolt and use as you normally would.

Hmm, Permatex mold-in. Along the lines of J-B weld would you say, or
have there been improvements in epoxy technology? I'm stopping at the
hardware store during today's bike ride to check out that option.
Thanks very much. Tom

That Permatex product has been around a long time. There very well could be
several other similar products however a good hardware store should have one
of the versions.
