Default stripped starter bolt hole

Like the title says,I managed to strip the rear hole on the primary housing.Brand new chrome one too.Looking for some advice,is there room for a helicoil?

use a time-sert. a more permanent fix than a helicoil. I've been there and done that!

Well it turns out the only thing available here are helicoils so that's what I ended up having to do.I doused them in red loctite before I threaded them into the housing so I hope that'll do the trick.The starter bolts threaded in good and torqued up nice.All ready to go.
