O/T .I have a motorhome w3ith a stripped thread in the adjusting bolt hole that holds the alternator belt tensioned, Aluminium Engine Block .Question , The thread is still useable but the tension slips , Is there a fix without trying to ram an oversize bolt in the hole.?. Like to keep as original as possible. Thanks

Aloha, If I am reading your post right, it looks like you are referring to the engine block thread?? If there is enough clearance, I would get a threaded rod the same size as the bolt and thread it into the block until it bottoms out. Thread two nuts on the end of the rod and lock it. Try turning it with a wrench until it won"t go anymore and do this with the bracket on. Mark it so it will have enough threads for the two nuts after you cut the rod. Put the two nuts back on the end of the rod and screw it back into the hole and you may use some locktite to keep it tight. Remove one nut and secure the other nut and don"t forget the lock washer. This usually works unless the threaded hole is worn out.

There are a couple of things that you can used to fix it. There is a heli-coil and there is an EZ-Lok. I like the EZ-Loc the best and I think they have a website if I recall. Try ezloc.com and see what you get. With either one of these two devises, you will have to tap out the hole with a thread tap and insert the spring threads. It also takes a heli-coil tap to do this....deadeye
