It is rather late though!
I'm kinda stuck with this Raceface stem. There's not enough material for most common methods. And I'm not willing to try my ideas out on a safety critical component worth £40!
I doubt you'll find a cost effective solution my good man. Sorry

looks like we are both in the same boat. Im not sure what to do really. Ill probably just try to tap it anyway. Doesnt matter if it goes wrong. |

Whack a pic up so we can see if it's safe or not then!

Well you cant really see the threadness :L It just doesnt tighten and bits of thread are left on the stem bolts. Annoying really  Im now deciding if there is any way to bodge it. But its such a crucial safety part i dont know if i want too  |

Well I think its fair to say you've learnt your lesson on this one.. and before anyone uses this thread to prove a point against Deity, i've got one of their 25.4mm stems fitted to the front of my bike for the past two years and havent had a problem.
Personally for the sake of £45 I'd just get a new stem, we all make mistakes.. just be a bit more careful with the other one!
yeah, i think it was going wrong from the second i had it, the fact one of the bolts was a bit rounded, i should have taken it back there and then. And im not doubting it anymore, im putting it down to a mistake on my part. I may try to Helicoil, but Miffy has explained that i wont have enough material to make it work. Although, they did have some serious issues with cranks snapping. But there will be teething problems in the early days of any company... |

I may try to Helicoil, but Miffy has explained that i wont have enough material to make it work. If you Helicoil it you WILL have enough material as you should be able to use the original size bolt.... You'd need to do it from the opposite side to the bolt head. If you drill it out and re-tap it you will need a bigger bolt and may have problems with the counterbore. READ the info people are kindly giving you! A |

WHat the problem is, is that there is a big set in for the bolt, which is exactly the same size as the bolt head, so to drill it out id have to drill out this set in bit.  It will be a squeeze to do  And drilling through the non bolt head side could be tricky aswell.. |
