Handbrake mounting stripped thread

[Addymk2]

Hello ladies and gents. Being the ham-fisted idiot that I am, I've pulled the Handbrake up a bit hard and ripped the threads off the 'shaft' which hold the actual lever down.

The shafts already skinny, if I remember correctly it only takes a 10mm bolt so rethreading it may not be a feasible option.

Anyone else managed to do this? Or anyone got an idea for a fix? I'm tempted to just liquid metal the old nut in place tbh.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks folks,

Run a m10 die down it?

If it's completely fubared, replace it or, drill and tap the base and screw a new bit of studding into it?

I contemplated running a die down it but it's fubared. I'm going to go for the drill and tap approach this weekend, cheers bud
