Stripped Thread Question

[decableguy2000]

I have a new to me 365 that has had the screws stripped out of the fuel tank for the handle bar. I plan on using the Husqvarna part 503 27 39-01 to repair them. How long are they, what pitch thread is on the inside? Should I use some Loctite around them before installing? They also can be install in magnesium, what is the success rate of it in this. I don't what it to turn in a debate about time serts, helicoils, or other brands.

The Husqvarna ones cut their own threads when inserting in the tank assembly.

They accept the original handle retaining screws which have a coarse thread for the original plastic.
