Default 2004 sti - brembo brake caliper stripped thread

Hi Scooby Net Members
I have a 2004 sti with brembo brakes, just in the process of replacing discs and pads. All going well untill n/s/f top caliper bolt came out with the caliper thread. The bolt has stripped out the caliper thread altogether. Can any one tell me of company who may be able to recut the threads and repair the caliper before i try to find someone myself, i would be greatfull for any help regarding this issue.
Thanks for your help
Regards

Robbo

Helicoils are fine, had them done to several of my previous cars with no problems at all. The problem is Suabru decided to use steel bolts in aluminum threads.

You'll find that the helicoils are stronger than the original threads
