It is common to find the threads in the body for the two screws that hold the throttle wire bracket stripped due to over tightening.

^^Ditto. Had the bracket off to perform a valve adjustment and upon reassembly found that the driver side screw was stripped. Do they even make heli-coils that small?

Good to know. We live in the sticks so chances are I will have to shop on-line for them. I do like the fact that the M38A1 technical manuals always seem to list the bolt and/or screw size.
