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;



I have another way. It depends on the depth of the back box and how slim
your fingers are. Remove an adjustable lug from a spare back box and just
hold it in place behind the knackered lug until the 3.5 screw bites the
"spare" adjustable lug.
