Or alternatively:

Hi John,

Not sure if you've helicoiled before but, if not, then you might find this link useful: http://www.helicoil.com.sg/HeliCoil-...structions.htm

I did my first ones earlier this year and, like you, I had to do theholes for the inlet manifold (5/16UNC). I used these people and the service and product was excellent: http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/I...PAIR_KITS.html

Good luck - I found it strangely addictive and soon started helicoiling everything in sight

Cheers

Julian

You haven't helicoiled bits of yourself yet have you, or are all your parts of a good size and in perfect working order?! :shock:

Hi Terry and Al,



And I've resisted saying anything like'it helps to give you a good screw'

Hi Cosmic, you must be near me somewhere, Namric, Nut & Bolt Store, Portland Road, Hove, is your answer.
