*BOOTHY* Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 M5 x 0.8, as for who can do it, I dunno, just go looking around industrial estates near you or something.Try and find some engerneering companys around you and take the bits you need and ask them if they can do it.

E.g M5...most engineering companies, and garages will oblige, or if your semi proficient can buy a helicoiling kit of ebay quite cheaply. if you want someone off TF to do it, then pm lawnmowerman, hell sort it out, but at a highish price(his prices arent extortionate, there cheaper than youd pay at a engineering company, but youll be posting the frame to him, and then him back to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Elson Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Alright mateIts not to hard to do it yourself. But my mate J-KAY can do it for you. He has done mine before and its fine. Helicoil is apperently stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
