Default bugeye ht/coil pack bolt thread rounded off !!!!

hi all , just changed spark plugs , got to the last one , on my bugeye wrx , and the bolt that holds the ht / coil pack lead to the block , the threads have rounded off on the engine , so the bolt will not fasten the lead ,

Yeah I understood what you meant fella, just that it is doubtful if the whole thread will have stripped. If you let me know what size it is I may have some longer spares which will nip up right at the bottom of the thread...
