JT! Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) They're metal inserts that can replace the magura 4 mount threads in your frame if they get stripped which they usually do.A bigger hole is drilled out and the helicoils are knocked in.

dangerous_dave Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 would helicoiling be stronger than just the alluminium screw holes, if so, they should just do that anyway. it would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thornabytrials.co.uk Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) they are stronger because the coil is normally stainless steel...you can buy helicoil kits quite cheap these days...for 4 bolts you need M5 x 0.8 Edited July 18, 2007 by thornabytrials.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
