Hi all, just bought an sv about 3 weeks ago,

I recently went to fit a new p-clip to secure the rear brake cable and have discovered that the original screw is well and truly corroded within the thread-insert, which is set in the frame (see pic).

I cannot see any other solution except for drilling it out and fitting a new thread insert, can any one offer some advice and in particular, the insert size that I require.

Thanks,
Dave
