Managed to knacker a thread in a guide brake, one of the Ones that holds the reservoir cap on . Can get a couple of turns but not enough to be confident it will hold

Any chance this can be fixed? Or new lever assembly time? Or is it possible to just buy the main bidy and swap the lever etc over?

Thanks

Doubt there'll be enough meat for the usual fixes of helicoil or re-tapping to a larger thread size, is there enough depth to use a longer bolt, even if it requires a bottoming tap to finish the threads?

nope - longer bolt would hit the reach contact point adjuster ring!
