26inch Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 it sounds like its pretty haggered, if its beyond re tapping argos cycles in bristol can sort it by glueing a new sleeve in to the bb shell and tapping that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdab. Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Local Garages near me do helicoils so thats even better. Theyll be able to do it back to a four mil bolt for you. So ask around at your local garages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
