Does anyone have experience with a stripped/cross threaded outer fairing mount on a H-D TriGlide?

HD sells a repair insert. 16585-96 About $2 each. I had to use a bottoming tap to install.
I just J & B Weld them back in place. Not an issue after that. If you cross thread one just retab it after you put it back in place.

Fortunately a false alarm! Removed outer fairing this AM and found threads in great shape. Last night when installing that one screw sounded like a small animal caught in a leg trap and it was difficult to turn. Apparently the fairing was off center just enough so that the screw was contacting the side of the hole in the metal mounting piece. Everything went back together very nicely this morning. Thanks for the ideas and the H-D part number, it's now in the memory bank.
just retab it
Guess I'm behind the times Gorilla. What's "retabbing" mean? Also, I use JB weld for a lot of things. but how do you use it to fix stripped threads?
TIA, Phu Cat
Retap I hit the wrong key. Sorry.
I was replying to his post I thought he was saying he pulled the blind nut out of the hole it sits in. It is pressed in by the factory. Put to much torque on the screws and you will pull it out of the inner fairing. I then just JB weld it back in and that takes care of that.
