Stripped oil line need help!!

Ok so the other day i was putting my turbo back in my sr, when i noticed that the lower banjo bolt just kept spinning. i tried to re-tap it but that didnt work. Ive been searching online line now for awhile and a good amount of people have recommended helicoil. i was just wondering if anyone has ran into this same problem, what u did to fix it, and/or where to find a helicoil thats m12x1.25.

Thanks

i used helicoil, from z28 ricer, but if i ever had to do it again i would just re tap it for AN threads and run a fitting, if you have ss lines

my lag is your courtesy head start

ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!
