easy bodge fix for those, re cut the thread if its not good, I think its an m6 down to about the last few inches where mine went to a different size

You can do this two ways depening on if the shaft does taper.  If ti doesnt' taper, spin a nut onto the thread, a big washer, place back in place, then another washer and a nut done up tight to hold in place.

If it does taper put a small tube or a pack of washers on the outside, one washer on the inside and do up as before.

Adjustment should be obvious.

some things have to be fixed before they get worse - other things like headlights can have a perefctly good "alternative repair"  :)

You get them to grip the thread again by gently forcing some of the plastic back into the threaded area with a soldering iron tip.
