No not those kind.

We managed to knock out one of the grease nipples on my transmission of my
bike while taking it off my bike trailer (it was seemingly low enough to not
require a ramp which I dont have yet - but apparently not). The grease
nipple and threads were on the floor. I can put them back in, but it won't
stay in place for very long.

I was wondering how easy/ what cost it would be to have some kind of
helicoil put into place to repair the grease spot and what I could do in the
meanwhile - would it be cool enough to use some material tape as a temporary
repair over the aperture or would it just burn off with the heat transferred
from the engine perhaps?

If you can find out the thread then you may be able to use a Recoil
kit,

I've just used one to repair a cylinder head cover thread.Very easy to
use IMHO :)
