Default THE NEXT PROBLEM

Just to make things a little more complicated in my HUP restoration, eagle-eyed Mike of the S&P Museum noted that the opposite bolt hole on my axle was not threaded. At the time I was more concerned with the problem at hand - "removing a remover and then removing a sheared off bolt".

Looking ahead, I wonder how to fix the "missing threads" in the other bolt hole. I did a web-search and researched tapping - an option, but the next size larger bolt is huge.

I also came across a little device called a Heli-coil. Anyone out there have any experience with these seemingly simple devices? Any heli-coil advice you would wish to dispense to a novice mechanic?
