Default RE: Do I need engine mods???

Kirk,
Any suggestions on how to fix a stock muffler which has stripped the threads used to hold the muffler to the motor itself. There is not enough room on the back side of the muffler to thread a nut into the the bolt, so I think my only choice would be to drill out and re-tap to a larger diamater thread, or purchase a new muffler. Figure with your experience with combat you have probably faced this issue before. Believe the muffler bolts for the OS 32SX are 3mm. If I go to the next larger sized thread and re-tap, any idea where I can purchase the 4mm bolts? BTW, only one of of the threads are stripped. Appreciate any advice you might be able to provide.
Sincerely,
Gary Murdock
