Re: helicoil question
Most autoparts stores should have or be able to get them or one of the fasterner stores.
The kit with tap, coils and installer usually runs about 20 bucks for 5/16 or 3/8 you still need the correct drill bit as most kits don't have the drill bit in them. Here is a link to one of the best charts I have found for Helicoils. http://automotivefasteners.thomasnet...ad-repair-kits I spent part of today hunting the right size to repair the threads in a Holley carb. Notice that it shows the correct size drill bit for each size. Last edited by mr48chev; 04-27-2009 at 02:11 AM. |

Re: helicoil question
Oreilly's had the kit on their tool aisle the last time I needed one.
