TLD 10 Sideplate Screw Threads

[aquabell]

Was servicing one of the TLD 10's I recently bought in, and found a couple of the sideplate screws had been superglued in because a previous owner had stripped the threads in the frame  is there a fix for this or will I be reaching for that little tube as well?

Think I have seen on the site somewhere(maybe one of Alan's tutorials) the use of a thin strip of aluminium or brass inserted in to the hole then screw as normal. Soft drink can perhaps.

Yep, that could work.

Thin strip of aluminum or stuff the hole with bronze wool.

Did the super-glued screws come out without damage? What about a giant dose a blue
Loctite?

Yes screws came out with a little gentle persuasion, I daresay loctite would work too, was trying to avoid damaged/broken screws or writing off the frame?

Shimano used to have some oversize screws that fixed this problem. Call them and see if they still have them

Thanks very much, will do.
