This is what I was referring to filling, not the tiny screw hole (that hole is fine, only broke the screw), sorry. This takes the threads for the clutch cable, so afaik it has to be the same size, that's why I was saying trying to fill it in and tap it again instead of just drilling it out and making larger threads. Stuck some steelstik in there, gunna let it sit and drill and tap later. Can't make anything worse at this point.



^ this feels useless though, because the clutch cable doesn't have threads



So now my question is why are there even threads?

Because it's supposed to have this stuff, too.



Looks like 11 threads in 1/2in. Also found the screw I broke on here, too.



M8 x 1.25 then. Used 17/64 drill-bit. Drilled, cut threads, cleaned up excess steelstik. Filled in spots where the threads were low, too. Now I just hope it can hold the lock and adjuster.
