Anybody have any bright ideas for stripped threads in a socket mounting
box??


Use a ballpein hammer and lump of metal to pein the hole a tad smaller

then
rethread with a special gizmo for the job- about £2 from a good local
electrical factor.

Drill out and epoxy a nut on the back.

Good ideas - I suspect I may end up trying them all...
