Hey guys my savage is about 2 years old and i guess from taking it apart so much my threads are stripping, so my questions is, how would i fix the 4 stripped threads on the tranny ??

• New 2 speed case ?
• Bigger diameter screw ?
• Some sort of substance ?

all suggestions welcome
Thanks

I use a small dab of thick CA on the screws that go into the worn holes. I dab a bit on the screw thread then screw it in, leave it a few seconds to set then just nip it up a lil. Seems to work OK, just don't use too much, or as you say, you can try a slightly thicker/coarser screw.

Thanks Londoner..
 
I fill plastic parts with JB weld and let it sit overnight. I drill the jb to the proper size and let the self tapping screws do their job.
