J Trials 31 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 So I just stripped my Heatsink backings and I feel like such an idiot. Don't feel like buying new ones as I just bought these. I figured I will just chase the threads, but was wondering if there are better ways to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I found heatsink vee backings to be quite soft, I have stripped every pair I have had! I have had great results with TNN vee backings and Rockpad backings, both seem to have heat treated threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wouldnt you be able to retap them to a smaller size?? Just need to find a smaller bold for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a chance to get some of those for a fairly good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 i stripped the end of one of my threads and just cut it down a bit and used a spacer less...I reckon you could quite easily mutilate an m6 bolt to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I chased the threads yesterday, and it seems to be fine. Can somebody name all the backings out their that are heat treated so next time I don't have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
