Help! Engineer needed
When I fitted a new oil filter on my bike at the weekend I managed to strip the threads on one of the fixing bolts.

It is a M8 allen screw about 100mm long and is threaded into the alloy engine casing.

What options do I have to get this fixed?
Who can I take it to in the leeds Area?

You should be able to get the thread 'helicoiled' that is drilled larger and tapped with a thread insert that will screw into the engine casting and you then screw your bolt into it, bit like a Rawlplug. Any decent engineering outfit should be able to help, call the local dealer and ask them for a recommendation. Only slight issue will be if there isnt enough meat in the casing to take the helicoil.

You don't want an engineer. You want a mechanic.

Anyway. You have 2 options:
Helicoil to reshape the original thread.
Drill it out and retap M10.

I'm sure there's a few more who could advise you where to get it fixed.

Seems fair to me

Matt
Sprint ST
(probably because they dont know how much meat they can remove from the casing)
