I just took a look; sadly, the largest metric size I have on hand is M10 x 1.25. And as close as the 1/2-13 is, it won't help you a bit . . . Otherwise I'd have mailed it to you on loan. Maybe someone else has the M12 x 1.5?

That's the kit price, right?  Several Helicoils, a tap, and an installation
tool in a pouch?

New bolt, $7
m12 x 1.5 helicoil, $30

I hope this does it.

Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] front control arm bolt thread repair

I saw that proceedure for the subframe support thread repair.  So the
front control arm could be done in the same manner?  At least there
are multiple options. I hope the nut/threads are still solid enough
for the front to accept the helicoil since that will be easiest.

The fix I have seen was to cut a small access hole and get a nut in
there then tack weld it in place.  Not the most fun project while im
the car, but it works well.
