Title: Anyone in SE London with a helicoil kit?
Post by: Lil-Steve on October 05, 2010, 11:39:22 AM
I tried to install my engine brace in the dark last night only to find out one of the holes it attaches to in the body is damaged and needs the thread re-cutting.

So if you are feeling very kind if you\'d mind me popping over to nick your helicoil kit or fancy popping over to Plumstead I can easily take you out for a beer.

I am in Plumstead and have -

The rivnut is attached to the black bolt that goes through the tool. The bolt on the left hand side is then screwed in, and the resulting pressure pulls the rivnut into its deformation stage.

I\'d love to mate but I\'m the On-Call Engineer over the weekend so need to be in constant phone coverage with access to a PC. :(
 
So I\'ll be waiting in all day Sat-Sun, possibly installing my new sparkplugs is about as exciting as it will get.
