I am having a problem with my Cleveland main wheels and the hubcaps.
The screws are 6-32, but because the wheels are aluminum and threads the
screws
go into are very soft. Even with being very careful most of my screws no
longer
hold the thread, and I have rethreaded them to 8-32. Now they are
loosening
again.

I have used threadlock and that seems to work, but I am wondering if I
should
fill the holes with plastic aluminum, and drill and tap to 6-32 again.

Just wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem and how you
solved
it.
