onzatprodude Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 yes i would say tap it 1 size more than what it was. this might save you drilling it not sure though you will also require a bigger bolt (same size as the tap) if your still at school ask one of your technology teachers to give you a hand to make sure you are doing everything right and have no problems. if not you could take it to your local garage as i know my local 'quick fit' tap objects.you could possibly get it helicoiled but i'm not sure.

PaRtZ Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 In all honesty I'd send it to profile europe and see what they can do. The last thing you want to do is start messing around with the bit that holds your weight steady Up to you though, I suppose tapping to a size larger could be done but....meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 dont want to retap it if i have to any more ideas i'll also think bout the sending off to profile idea thanks keep them cuming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Don't re-tap it it might not hold up with the strain of titening as much as profiles need to be. Get it helicoiled it will be strong and would be like new if done properly. but profile may wash there hands of the problem if you mess around with it. Is it the bolt that has gone because my mate nackered his bolt but the threads were fine . try another bolt it might be fine. if not the get it helicoiled from a person that knows what he is doing.ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
