I actually typed Helicoil last night when you posted this thread. but then got to thinking.Do they make helicoils in that size though? I would look into that before doing anything. The first time i did a helicoil i was amazed at how easy and great it worked, but i was using on a regular bolt, not a feed line.
Its going to have metal shavings no matter what you do, Pack the hole with paper towel prior to drilling then use needle nose after to get the towel out, should cut down on the shavings.
