Correct me if I go wrong here, but I don't remember there being any thread in the caliper. If he needs a helicoil, it is in the mounting hole on the fork leg, or the carrier on the rear. A replacement carrier is easy enough to get and would probably work out cheaper then helicoiling your busted one. However, if it is the fork that is forked, then I really don't recommend trying it as a DIY job. Check breakers yards and ebay for the cost of a replacement and consider bringing it to a local engineer for their opinion on cost of repair (if its possible).
