CycleTech Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Put a time-sert in it. If you don't know what that is then look it up. Its the best thread repair design Ive ever used and I use them all the time(Powersports Tech). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
