6mm Helicoil insert kit wanted....

Postby mudeevee » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:24 pm

Hi,

I have a need to repair a 6mm thread on the crf subframe (exhaust bracket). Never used a helicoil, but it looks just the job. The kit is size specific and comes with inserts, a drill, a tap and an insert tool.

I'd rather not buy a complete kit for one job. Anyone have a kit I can borrow? Obviously I'll replenish the actual insert.....

Cheers

Derek

I might be able to get this for you... I'll let you know. You realise you can get an m6 repair kit for about £7 on ebay though yeah?

Looked on eBay & found an 8mm kit (I had measured incorrectly) for just under £9 delivered.
So all good thanks

If anyone needs to use it, just ask

Cheers

Derek
