Stripped
Friend of mine was buttoning up his install of the SE cam chain tensioner plate on his 2003 Anniversary 88 inch. The torque wrench was set at 100 inch labs and the threads in 2 holes stripped before reaching full torque. One hole is for the cam plate itself and the other is for the cover. Because of the wall thickness, I'm not sure these can be drilled and retapped. Any info/ideas are appreciated and thanks in advance.

Timeserts are another option and easier to use or a "novice" ... Good Luck with your scooter.
