Helicoil Sizes

[Tarticmonkey]

Barry Big Arms Strikes again.

Need to helicoil my front hubs to accept a bolt to the brakes lines in place. What size will I need for this? Or Does it not matter?

Also got a stripped coil pack thread in the valve cover... not my fault this time (Huzzah). Anyone dealt with this before or helicoiled these?

I believe the brake line bracket bolt is m6, definitely needed or it’ll rub away.

Coil pack thread is quite a common issue apparently, m6 too i believe. there are stud and nut kits sold to try and stop the issue. Can’t see why you wouldn’t be able drill it out and helicoil it.
