what is the best way to fix stripped out cymbal stands? I have 3 PDP double braced stands I picked up with a drumset I bought, but the bottom tightener on all 3 is stripped out - is there a simple fix or parts I can get?
 
I've had some success using a thread repair product called Helicoil.they come in all different sizes.But most cymbal stands use a "whitemetal" a magnesium/aluminum
mix and once they strip they are pretty much stripped.You could try to tap the hole with a bottom tap and chase the thread on the wingbolt.Hope this helps.
 
JB Weld is your friend. I've used this stuff for many different fixes, including stripped out threads on stands. It won't last forever but does last a good while.
