95 Skorp Sport left handlebar control

[dotacion]

Hello to everyone-

I haven't visited mzriders in awhile, but I've had my Sorp for ten years.

It's been in hibernation for the last four. I am in the process of getting it roadworthy again. Already got it started, and it sounds great. Got a whole list of things that need attention.

Once the carb was cleaned out and the choke adjusted, found a prob with the bolts that screw the two plastic halves of the left handlebar control. Can't tighten; thread appears to be stripped.

Is there a fix for this? Or is finding a replacement a reasonble alternative?

I'm in Pasadena, CA.

Have a look at helicoil repair.
Providing you can drill straight and the threaded area isn't cracked.

This would be a permanent fix better than new.
Most any fastener supply place or good hardware or auto parts will stock these.
Good Luck......
