I thought MG Cycle carried a repair part but I can't find it in their
online catalog. It required boring out old threads to proper dimension,
inserting and welding in a sleeve with new threads. I inherited a head with this
done to it. You barely notice the bead of weld. The nut covers half of it
up.
Charlie's $75 repair possibility sounds pretty good.

Hi Roy
The only genuine fix I have heard of for this problem was from
Moto International
many years ago. I believe they welded up the affected threads and
re-tapped them with
a custom tap they had made. That way you can buy a stock exhaust nut
anywhere and it
will work. Probably not cheap, but worth doing on a '74 Police bike.
There's no guarantee
that a used set of Eldo or Tonti heads wouldn't have some other,
expensive to repair, problem.
If your heads are otherwise good, give MI a call.
