If the thread has gone past the point of being re taped, I usually get a plaster depth 16mm galv back box take one of the oval knock outs drill through either end with a 4mm bit, bend the knackered lug flush with the box, drill two 3mm holes in the back of the box that correspond with the two on the knock out, tap them screw the knock out to the back of the box with shortened 3.5 screws, in line with where the faceplate screw falls normally then drill a third hole in the centre of the knock out thread it, then use a 75mm 3.5 screw as normal. hope that makes slight sense.
The above was posted by Pennywise on another thread and no doubt it is a problem that has bugged us all at some stage. This got me thinking what other problems have we come across and what was your solution to it.
So lets have the problems and solutions and if you can think of a better solution please post it.
