Dan6061 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Some Halfords stores might, depends on if they have someone who knows what they're doing. Don't sell helicoil kits, so if you do go to a Halfords, it's most likely that they'll tap it to a size bigger.Go to a local garage or engineers and get it helicoiled.

Heatsink Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 There's always confusion between the thread size and the allen key size needed!M5 thread bolts have a 4mm hex head - 4 bolt mountsM6 thread bolts have a 5mm hex head (here's where many get confused between sizes!) - Vee mountsSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
