Helicoil Info

Found this and thought it might be useful for people who don't know how to do it. Never know when you might need it if you strip a thread.

Helicoils are dead useful when a thread stips out ....... but personally have always gone to a shop n got them to do the fitting

probably cheaper than buying the required tools too Bill

the tools can be quite expensive, fortunately i managed to borrow alot of kit from the mob before i left lol, they are pretty simple to use as shown above just so long as you make sure the tap is 90 degrees to the item you are creating a thread in so it all goes back together straight!
