I accidentally stripped the holes where the mast rotation prevention line jam cleat is mounted. Hadnt been able to figure out what do do because I didn’t want to drill new holes. Solution: drill the holes out just enough to clean them up then insert a rivet nut. Then using a rivet nut installation tool (which is just a simple hand tool). Best solution to stripped holes for pretty much anything metal
