Hey man
Not sure on the last bit but can the thread be recut? its actuall y really quick and easy to do if you have the tools. I am sure a local machine shop would do it for a fiver!

Oh and any idea where I could get the screw and metal plate thing to hold it to the cleat (they're Shimano SDP SL cleats) or will i need to buy new cleats?
Thanks.
for example
If you're going to try to re-tap the thread (and buy a tap to do it) you better make sure you buy the right kind of tap, if it is an M5 (standard metric 5mm diameter) then you can actually get three different types of M5 - you will need the 'finishing tap' (not the starting or middle tap) or the one without a pointy (techie term) end!
I've actually confused myself. You need a M5 finishing tap. It will NOT have a pointed end!
Judging by the above replies, I reckon you'll be taking them back!
