Revolver Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 A hardware store. Maybe even B&Q. OR, helicoil them so they're back to M5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because i tried my local hardware store and they didnt even do them. Is that possible to re-helicoil it smaller ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Helicoiling IS smaller.. I said this in your other thread. When you helicoil, the first step is to tap it out to the size above, so that you've got fresh good threads. Then the helicoil goes in and reduces the thread size as well as strengthening it. Otherwise, how would you fit something extra in if it's meant to take up no space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
