I've lost lots of threads on my A2 to galvanic corrosion. The steel screw comes out and brings the aluminium female thread with it. Not had this yet but apparently the screws can shear off. Also lost threads due to age related use fatigue. The fix is to drill out and coil a new thread.
I have a partially stripped thread on my sump but a M10 (could be M12 needed) coil kit is quite expensive. I found this on eBay £22 delivered. My logic being, it's not brakes, head, or iron engine parts; it's just a gearbox holding screw in aluminium. A cheap coil kit will do.
On first inspection it appears good, drills and taps are marked HSS and the M10 coil fits well on an M10 screw. Feels like a bit of a bargain
