    Damaged board - Advice required

    Unfortunately, my binding screws have busted the threads on my board inserts.

    Is it possible to:
    a) replace the inserts
    b) tap a new thread into the insert using a die?

    Please help!

    Both are avenues, but tapping the insert using a die would be preferred. Sorry, but I don't know the exact size to use for the job.

    Thanks Mark, I shall give this a go as the alternative is having to buy a new board.

    I'll get a die 2mm bigger than the current size and then some new screws to fit. Bottom line is even if I f*ck it up, I'm no worse off than I am now!
