MrMonkey Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 As some of you may know I be getting this frame. The BT that is, anyways it's cracked and one of the brake mounts be f**kz0rized, so I need to get it helicoiled and welded. That be the crack, do you think it's safe to keep it unwelded or should I get it welded. Also who do I go to, to get the two things done. As in who do I look for in the yellow pages?? Thanks in advance my lovely lady friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Helicoiling is used by engineers because in racing and stuff you dont want to make threads out of aliminum because they'll thread at high speeds? (sorry if im wrong!) and maybe better to just get it welded not for saftey reasons but just so it doesn't get any worse? (maybe :( ) i dont know bout the saftey aspects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Vox Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Helicoiling is easy, either go to a engineers shop and get a kit for 20pound. Take the brake bolt with you for the size but im pretty sure its M5 X 0.8mm. Or you can take it to a garage and have it done for you but itll cost more like 12quid each rather than £20 for a kit which can do 10. Your choice. As for the crack i would definatly get it welded, dont really know where you can get it done though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
