Whoa! You're in MG? We just moved away from there last summer, but I spent more than half my life living in 55369 (NE side of Rice Lake).
Sorry to read about the stripped threads. I feel your pain, but Congrats on the Helicoil repair, as...Yeah! It's starting to get too cool around here to do anything like painting.
Good luck!
