Stripped threads on gear lever assembly now fixed

Thanks to all who responded to my previous post about the above on my
road bike.

The problem is now fixed.

I took it to Mick's mate's workshop and it took about 3 mins to fix.
Basically, he drilled the hole out a tiny bit bigger and re-tapped it to
a different thread and used a bolt which fitted thru the same hole as
there was some room there. Simple as that. Things are easy when there
are lots of tools and spare bits around.

I think I will need to make sure that the frame does not act as a
sacrificial anode but at least the main problem is now out of the way.

Thanks again to all who have so kindly offered their assistance.
