Very kind of you to offer Bruce! Fortunately I think the problem is resolved.
Took it down to Piston Broke Engineering in Bristol for Steve to have a look at having been recommended him by several other shops that didn't want to look at it. After a poke around he didn't reckon it needed helicoiling, and ran a 3/8x26 cycle thread tap through it by hand. The bolt 014807 now fits in very well.
Johnny, I'll have a poke around the studs as well on your recommendation.

Re: Brake "anchor" bolts
You will know better that I, but I'd assumed that they changed sides for the first CSR.Rob Harknett wrote:This is a later model with the brake on the right. Not sure when they changed from left to right. Nothing new though, back in 1936/37 the front brake changed sides. Those days it affected more big parts like forks and wheel plus smaller fittings.
