Threads in front hub are stripped. Would time serts be safe and reliable to repair the threads that mount the front rotor. I believe that the last few threads in the time serts are only semi-formed so that they expand and lock into the bore when installed (you run a tool down the threads when installed). The time sert is longer than the bore where the old threads were and since the end of the time sert will be hanging out of the hub I was worried there would be nothing to "lock" into. I'm trying to salvage this hub. Any educated advice would be much appreciated.

As suggested. Welding redrilling is the ultimate solution, but a big job.
