Helicoils shite, use the TIME SERT kit, got all these sizes you need, about 10 x the price of helicoils but there's a reason, but even helicoil will be perfectly ok with the stresses on the threads in the head, want me to see if I can scrounge the time sert kit again, he gets free refills so won't cost him anything.
Dropping strap off monday.

Helicoils will be fine, done loads where they have pulled out of the head.
