Re: LXD75: Worst Threads in Mounts

How exactly would you do that with cast aluminum mount bodies? Screws are rarely made of materials softer than cast aluminum. Perhaps high-stress areas should use threaded stainless steel inserts into which the screws thread. But then you up the cost of manufacturing considerably on an otherwise budget-priced item.

Good luck fixing your stripped threads.
