This is off a customer bicycle. A Jetson from Costco, I noticed it was stripped while adjusting the rear brake.
I replaced entirely in the moment but used the discarded part to learn how to do it better next time.
Out of curiosity, how did you repair the stripped threads? I gather that this is an aluminum component? Given that this is what mounts a disc brake caliper, would this repair be reasonably safe to ever reenter service?
Looks like heli-coil repair.

Exactly this.
Threaded inserts are an option with more space but bicycle parts are small
As far safety the threads in the part are now stronger than they were originally so it would be reasonably safe to put it back into service.
I guess as long as the threads can take the required bolt torque there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.
But I’m always a bit sceptical around brakes, because they’re brakes.
I should check all the brake bolts on my bicycle soon…
