Hmm, both bolts that are there now are M10 x 1.5.... That means that both threads are damaged and not just one, as I first thought. > A Heli-coil would be a much better repair > and much more likely to stay in place. That is a good idea! I think that my first choice would be a used front end from a scrap yard. That would be relatively cheap here in Sweden, but most yards are closed for vacation in July. If I can't find any used parts I will go for the Heli-coil. I also found that a guy who sells VW parts has a new 311 405 311 B. Is this a correct left steering knuckle for my 1968 Notch (318 089 773)?
