I've just got back from Area 51.
Once again they proved really helpful. This time it was for a repair which I could have done for myself only if I had gone out and bought a set of taps. Though, with my hunger for more and more tools almost verging on addiction, who knows. I may just go on e-bay and see what's available.
It may be prudent considering what I was told, that stripping threads on Harley tranny covers is one of the more common problems they see.
Yes, that's exactly what I did when screwing the clutch cable back in. I wasn't even trying to force it. I thought it may need a helicoil insert but got away with just re-tapping the first few threads.
So, after another couple of days delay, I can get back to work putting everything together again.

....LESSON LEARNED ?......
I bought myself a tap and die set from e-bay for £20. So if anything like this happens again....
