If you are unfortunate enough to strip the threads don't bother helicoiling or timsert'ing, just fit much longer bolts, they will go right through the housing and protrude beneath, you can then just add a nyloc nut to each...
A lot simpler, and highly effective.

Agreed, the fact is that the original bolts only pick up a 3rd of the available thread just fit longer bolts. i rarely ever have to helicoil.
a bit of advice too, use a 1/4 drive ratchet and only use 1 hand to do them up, there is no need to be a gorilla it won't leak if tightened gently the o ring seals just fine with minimal bolt tension.

I have put some screws in mine so I can only do it up with a screw driver
That way you or the knuckle dragging mechanic doesn't over tighten them and strip them
(Sorry Justin)
