Since it has been correctly pointed out that the near side (L/H) slider must have the studs fitted to securely retain the brake torque arm and guard stay and the off side (R/H) slider has the bolts to hold the guard stays, the assembler, (thomthom), must be clear in his mind as to which side is in fact the 'near side' so as to ensure correct, safe assembly.
The original post says that the machine has apparently been dropped on its near side, but the parts showing damage (brake lever, timing case) confusingly are on the off side!!
I wouldn't be happy useing a helicoil in that particular application either!

Oops sorry, nearside, elbow, I was talking through my offside.
The bike had been dropped onto the off side.
