Hey, Stephen,

<snip> I have a stripped front caliper bolt hole, is there anything I can do
to fix
 it besides replace the spindle? <snip>

Get yourself a thread pitch gage & a micrometer or vernier caliper & figure
out what size thread you have on the bolt.
Then get yourself a Helicoil kit for that thread. It'll come with a drill,
tap, helicoil inserts, an insertion tool & a tang break off tool.
If you can get at the hole with the drill & tap, you need maybe 15 minutes
to complete the task.
If you have any questions, e-mail me off list...
