Clutch Fork bolts

Tried searching but to no avail.

The bolts that hold the clutch fork in, my stripped out leaving me stranded.

What's the best way to fix this (retap).

Those hold a lot of force. I've actually never stripped one. I'd use a time sert. They are stronger that a helicoil.

+1 for the Time-Sert. We use them to repair stripped head bolt holes in engine blocks.

I've used them often for stuff that takes a decent amount of torque, like head studs or headers too.

I really can't believe they stripped. I figured the clutch fork broke but nope.

Does anyone know if the are m8x 1.25 or whatever they are?
