I've got a regulator that I picked up used from a local on Craigslist. The pressure adjustment set-screw hole is stripped. Fortunately, the regulator otherwise works OK but I'd like to replace the bonnet. The regulator looks identical to this item:

but Rapids says they don't sell replacement bonnets for those. I still have an inquiry in with them about whether anyone else does, or who the original manufacturer of those is, but I figured I'd ask the hive mind over here. Anyone know if the Taprite poly bonnets will work? Is bonnet threading pretty much standard? If it is, I might just order one of these:

Alternatively, does anyone have experience using something like JB-Weld to repair the hole and re-tap it? I haven't dug into it too deeply yet, and I have a new Taprite T742HP waiting to be installed when I get motivated to, so this isn't terribly critical either.
