Unless of course the hole is already bigger than a 3.5 tap. Then you
have to glue a new lug behind the old one. Or if it is the adjustable
lug then you can usually swap it with one from another backbox.
Or enlarge the hole a bit to take a nutsert (insert)...
Or use a M4 rethreader and M4 screw.
Sir - Did you suggest a reasonable and simple solution not involving:
a) Angle grinder;
b) Unusual technology;
c) Unusual but expensive tools;
