Carb choke thread

does anyone know if it is possible to repair/ retap the choke thread on a standard SH Lambretta carb?
I have bent the alloy so as the choke housing is held in place but I would really like to get the thread repaired to new or replaced with one that is less likely to strip.
Where could I get this done and how much am I looking at?
Cheers

Martin Cook at chiselspeed repaired one for me, re-tapping the carb and making a new screw in part that fits into it all, the other parts remained std, Plunger spring and adjuster screw...back then it was a Tenner but that was over ten years ago....

Similarly I had an SH2/22 re-tapped and new thread screw-in bit made for about a fiver about two years ago by a local engineering company. It might pay you to take the carb and ask around these kinds of places if you have some near you.
