In 2008, I stripped the threads on the steering column. I had held the steering wheel on with some hose clamps, but it was still loose:
I bought a Tap and Die set from Harbor Freight (Cheap tools made in China, but hopefully I’ll rarely use them, and they will last awhile).
I finally re-threaded the M14-2.0 threads:
Got a new stainless nut at Ace Hardware. My steering wheel feels solid again!
Costs:
Metric Tap and Die Set: 64.99 (sale) plus 5.36 Tax @ Harbor Freight
M14x2.0 stainless nut: $3? @ Ace Hardware
