This kit was used to fix stripped threads on the rear hub of a Triumph TR6. To keep the hole straight, I made a drilling guide. I installed a stud as well as the helicoil. The thickness of the wall was about 1/2 inch, and the repair was successful. Torque was applied to the stud at a rate of 15 foot pounds.
The heli- Coils have a unique thread that matches the insert's outside diameter. When you buy the kit, it comes with the appropriate tap, which has the same thread pitch as the threads on the heli-tube's OD. The original kits included the proper drill for that tap, but in what appears to be a cost-cutting move, they no longer do so, instead merely stating what the proper drill is. To attempt to answer the question, I would say it is unlikely.
21/64". Amazon was my source for the Vermont American 10221 bit. Prior to purchasing, I double-checked the drill size on the internet. (In aluminum) it worked perfectly.

It would be helpful if it came with the necessary drill bit because the bit size was somewhat uncommon, but otherwise the kit worked great! I had to shorten the length of the insert to accommodate a shallow hole on the bow's riser, but it worked well otherwise.

I used this to repair the primary cover on my HD Sportster 2010 where the clutch cable feeds in, just make sure you get the right drill bit, and my bike no longer leaks.
My ten-year-old snow thrower's engine block had two stripped holes in it. I was fortunate in that I was able to access the area with a drill without having to remove any other parts than the belt cover. I inserted the first helicoil and snapped the bottom off as directed using the appropriate size drill bit from my set (thank goodness they didn't include one in the kit so I didn't have to pay for something I didn't need). Because the tapping was deeper than the coil insert's length, I used a second one in the same hole until the first one bottomed out - A portion of the second coil is still visible. I was able to back it out a little and cut the excess off with the installation tool before screwing it back in and having a fully restored tapping - newer and better! Simply ensure that the top of the insert is a quarter-turn below the surface - When you unscrew the bolt the next time the assembly comes apart, it helps to keep the insert from backing out.
These were used to repair rusted and torn threads in an engine block. It works perfectly, and there are no issues with torqueing bolts to the required specifications.
My older aluminum riser compound bow's limb bolts and rest bolts have stripped out due to use and over-tightening. (It's my fault) tightening It was a simple fix to get a bow up and running in better-than-factory condition again.
I bought it for the same reason as the rest of you: repairing the threads on the primary clutch cable on a Harley-Davidson primary cover I was sceptical that something so inexpensive could perform so well, but it did. I was expecting to have to spend more for a timesert, but this, along with a small amount of Permatex high temp (which I probably didn't need but didn't want to do the job twice), did the trick.
The helicoil worked perfectly. The helicoil was easily installed after tapping the existing hole.
