I  thought it was long established that a "Time-Sert" brand thread insert
was  the best way to repair a stripped drain hole.  It sounds like  the
perfect fix in this situation to  me.

Exactly !  The Sav-A-Thread device is similar  to a Timesert.  I just gave
the wrong thread pitch kit, too early in  the morning and I grabbd the wrong kit
to get the info from.  Needs to be  14mm x 1.5 as others have pointed out.
