stripped brake caliper

I was swaping brakes last night and I swithch to a set of solo bleeders any way the plunger broke off and I had to rip it out with a pair of pliers it stripped out the threads the hole is now to big to retap. I guess I have to use a heli coil to fix this any advice on where to get or how to do this.

thank you.

Take it to a machine shop and see if it's repairable. If not, I've got two calipers in a box off of a '97 Formula (60k on them) for sale cheap.

Well hell, just junk it and use your other one. I've tried to sell mine in the past, no one really wants stock LT1 F-body calipers.
