Heli-coil inserts.

Ebay search Helicoil KIT 12-24

The kit including the tap and an insertion wrench is a little pricey at $38.67 plus ship. But the helicoil "spirals" are sold separately pack of 12 for $10.96 free ship.

You should look around both Ebay and Amazon. You may find a better deal.

Doing helicoil is one of those things I LIKE to do. Almost flawless - as long as you don't break off the tap.
