Yeah, what a pita, would have it had it going for sure, much easier the second time around. John has a 5/16th helicoil but no bolts. I had to leave to do the school pick up. He is looking at a couple different options.
Was it loose?Quote:

Both bolts were done up using a 3/8 drive with a small extension, couldn't get enough leverage. Put a longer bar onto it and got another 1/2 - 3/4 of a turn, then did the other one and it pulled the thread.Quote:

Yeah I would say the bottom bolt could've been tighter.
I have a gazillion tools here so my son is scouting around his mates
which most are in the Auto trade, and maybe he can pick up
a couple of heli coils fo me
All good John as I said two dissimilar metals causes corrosion
Plus they fuse themselves together, worked on alloy motor bikes
for way too long to worry about a stripped thread. we can repair it
and stronger than new
We'll get you going.Quote:

Keep us posted if your got everything ready I could possibly get out to you tomorrow morning, as it's not much to do it shouldn't take too long.
What I think I have is some stuff I can put in the old thread
let it harden and then just re tap it, but I think a heli coil
would be a better fix, No rush now lol
Is it called chemi weld or similar
Yeah, pulled the tread out before it was tight. The top bolt was done first with no issues, tried to do the same and it went pear shaped.Quote:

Can anyone confirm if that chemi weld putty would be up to the task
