As advised by others this could vibrate out. Blown engine, Europe, hassle.
In case you get stuck, I've got all the helicoil inserts, insert tool, taps, drills etc you'll need, at work. Just let me know what size the orignal thread is and I'll send you all the bits needed to repair, provided I get them back.
Offer's there if you need it.
Fantastic, might very well take you up on that!
I think the thread size i stripped is a M14, so apparently i need a M16 with a 2 mm thread to bore out the new one, along with the appropriate size nut. Do you have these?
I will be away from home all week, so might have to post it to my office if thats ok?
I'm on a course all week but can call into work to get the bits no probs. I'll even get you a washer (ring, not machine).
If it is M14, you shoud be ok tapping M16, but when tightening, try not to shear the
