First, welcome to the group Richard (@rici1 ) !
You have already seen above how useful the people here can be.
Second, no worries about where you post. You are among (new) friends here.
No one will verbally ream you out for your grammar, spelling, country of origin of your machines, or your request for help.
Worst case is that one of our helpful moderators would move it to a new category and tell you exactly why.
I personally would like to understand root-cause of this trouble before I made any recommendations.
Note this is NOT to point fault, but to help guide the way forward.
Was the original thread mis-identified? (perhaps it was metric, but an imperial tap was run thru)
Was the thread identified properly, but the tap mis-labeled?
Was the tap proper, but just too loose for the fit?
I am a fan of Helicoils, but that's likely only because that is the solution most easily available to me, and they have saved my butt a few times.
