    Arrow ***HELP! Shift Linkage Issue!!!***

    Yo... so... my shifter dropped today.
    come to find out the two bolts that bolt the shifter to the chassis are GONE.
    okay fine i always keep spare bolts so i put one in.

    the other does not go in.
    the bolt is fine but the hole is the problem.

    what i need to know is, is there anyone that can rethread this hole so that i can get a bolt in there? cuz im just riding around with a linkage attatched to the chassis by one bolt.
