quick_spider Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Google is your friend. I think you need M5x0.8mm kits - they should be around £25-£30, but you may be able to get it done cheaper at a local engineering place. Ask around. Here's a guide: linkage Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 dont even bother with helicoils on a brake mount, go down your local engineers and ask if they have any time incerts :turned: basically you just drill a hole to what ever size, get the incert like on tensile cranks and screw it it as they are self tapping job done :) far stronger by a mile :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
