And why 1/8" whit at 40tpi may be better than the originally suggested M3 x 0.5 which is almost 51tpi. Helicoils would be same pitch as the original screw so still quite fine.

This was also the reason why I thought about rethreating as M3 because the holes needs to be drilled by 2.5mm. But then the engine would have metric and inch screws… I also checked helicoil, but it looks like that this system isn’t available for 3/32“ threats.

25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles	If you did go with Helicils then M2.5 metric or #3-48UNC would be closest to the original screw diameter and pitch, As you say the very small whitworth threads would be hard to find a helicoil for so probably the only way to stay with 3/32" whit would be to drill out quite a bit larger and bond in some inserts with JBWeld made to fit with the 3/32" thread.
