Sachs shock lower bolt fitting

Hello
Im looking for the lower bolt fitting for my Sachs rear shock, like the one on photos. Does anyone knows how to search it or where to find something like that?

I am not sure if your's is stripped or missing, but I had one of my Ohlins lower mount strip and I was able to fix it with a Helicoil. I needed to use a Dremel cutoff to shorten the Helicoil but it worked fine.

These are inserts that go in the bottom of the shock clevis.
Presumably, so you can swap them out with different ones to change the ride height.

Is it safe to repair it with Helicoil?

Do you know where to search for these inserts?

I would put a helicoil in it.

The shock bolt doesn't thread into these inserts.

I don't.
You may have to find a machine shop that can make some for you.

yes it looks similar. But in this case you can use hexagon bolt to the screw. In my GG the screw goes to the fitting. I think I will go to a cnc solution
