Does anyone make the housing that the adjusting wedge screws into?
Mine have the threads stripped and would like to replace/ or repair/helicoil.

The easy way is to change the backplates, they seem to be plentifull and cheap at USA swap meets I have been . Just my opinion

We have backing plates available and we also save damaged backing plates for this exact reason, because often folks need just this housing . We will sell you a damaged backing plate, with a good adjusting wedge housing for $15. Just rivit it on your back plate.
