[T3] Stripped oil screen stud


I was changing the oil in the '71 Squareback today and as I was putting
everything back together one of the 6 studs used to hold the oil screen and
plate on, stripped out of the case.  I would guess this is a fairly common
occurance (at least I *hope* it is...) and I was wondering if we can still
use the car for a bit with just the 5 nuts on, or do we need to get it
fixed ASAP?

As for the fix, I imagine a helicoil would be the answer, but what size do
I ask for?

Also, please reply to dburden@mindspring.com since I think I've been
un-subscribed from the list for some reason.

Thanks
Dave Burden
