Yeah it does, but then I didn't really feel 100% about it anyway. I do think this Thread-Sert thing is going to go well though. It was a bit costly, but it's a complete kit with drill bit, tap, sleeve sized to match the bolt in diameter, thread pitch AND threaded length, install tool and a rig to keep each step completely plumb and flush to the finish. I will try to remember to document it and if it works out well, I will post up a new thread about it. It seems a couple of other people have experienced the same thread stripping, so hopefully it will be useful. Lord knows I have been learning a lot already from here, hopefully I can give back by saving some others a little of the frustration I have seen the last two weeks.
