Default Brake Resevoir Prob?

I habe a 94 FXSTC with aftermarket chrome switch housing and front master cylinder....the right screw holding the cover on the master cyliner is stripped (just noticed it because I was getting fluid leakage).

This is a tiny screw! Is there a heli-coil that small? If not, what would anyone have to suggest to repair this???

I'd drill & tap both out to the next size.

Should be, were not talking tapping it to a 1/2 X 13 bolt now Maybe you could go metric and it would be only a tiny bit larger than what you have?
