I tried to fix the OEM engine guards. One side was fine. On the RHS the main bolt (M12) that goes into the engine casing actually stripped the thread in the hole. Recommended torque is 75Nm. I put 50Nm as I thought 75 was a lot. I have calibrated the torque wrench before and after!
I tried a helicoil but that is not working. The thread is just too deep inside the casing hole so I cannot get the helicoil all the way in.
Has anyone had a similar issue of the stripped thread in the casing? What solution did you end up with? Other solutions?

Where can I source a new OEM M12 bolt?
Is warranty out of the question...?
Many thanks for your help.
