Questions & Answers

What can I do to get more inserts without using Would it be enough if I had 14 as a ?

It's possible to just order inserts by going to the company's website

In one thread hole, can you put more than one insert?

The idea of putting more than one thread insert into a hole seems possible, but I have not really tried it. With the hole drilled and tapped, the insert can be easily inserted without applying a ton of force. One of the tricky things would be orienting the two inserts so that all the threads line up just right for the bolt to fit

Is this recommended for head bolts that must be torqued with 58 feet/lbs. of torque. This was pound. ?

I had to use these to repair footpeg mounts that had worn out on a dirtbike and they worked well. I am not certain of the recommended torque, but I would guess that it would be greater than 58 ft lbs because they need to support a rider's I wish you the best of

Are the inserts usually installed with the tool that fits into the slot in the insert?

I had to lightly tap the block of wood in order for the mine to engage. My customer was spared the cost of purchasing a cylinder head because I managed to fix it.

I agree with you - All the items you will need are in our kit
5/5

A lot of people like this kit. Included are a drilling bit, a tapping bit, the actual inserts, as well as a special tool for inserting the screws. In plugs, a thread sealant is already on the threads to prevent them from coming loose. In the kit, it is recommended for metal, but I used it for wood, and only put a few drops of polyurethane Gorilla Glue on the threads for good adhesion (avoid spraying the surfaces with water, or the adhesive may not bond properly). Therefore, a regular cordless drill such as a 3 8" model will not work since the drill bit is for a half inch drill. A word of caution they might want to include a drill bit that is necked down in order to be used in a 38" My assumption is they are thinking of drill presses, which typically accept drill shafts with a diameter of 12 inches or greater. In some ways, this is very similar to a helicopter It is not likely that a drill press would be of much use in most cases. it would not hurt to include a capability that can bore up to 38. 5 inches. The 12" drill I bought for the project was just for this.

I am pleased with the result - A drill was included in the package The kit includes a bit, a tap, an insertion tool for a light screwdriver, and 10 YES, they were 14 as big as The inside measures 20 inches, and the outside measures 3/8 inch This product came with an 13 outside, and had a loktite-red color on the outside.

The standard size for everything made it much easier than the coil-filled tubes. I am interested in your product.

The bit I had was of acceptable quality, but I used one from another source. Initially, I thought the tap was a starting tap, since the cutting angle at its tip was very shallow. He was right, and it would fit nicely into a plate or something like that. In my case, I had an obvious blind spot. As a result of other purchases, I had a 3/8-inch Using the 13 running tap - less shallow cutting angle at the tip - results in a more accurate cut. My bottoming tap was necessary - it had to cut immediately, and it was very difficult to get started. As you can see, I did what I could. When I was working with aluminum, I had to work very slowly so that I could avoid needing a fast-working machine Later, I will put a bigger insert. A few 3-d objects also came in handy The cutting fluid should contain 1 oil. It took me about half an hour to get the insert in A few minutes. As a result, I even used a dremel tool to grind it flush with the part, but that was totally expected due to As far as I am concerned, I think it will be fine for the vast majority of applications, much better than my previous attempt with a You produced something.

5/5

A very good value for the money. In place of stripped out Toyota 22rte aluminum head studs, replace them with new ones Integrated seamlessly into the existing network. In order to drill a straight hole, I made a special drill and tap guide because I did not trust my hand that much when holding a drill. Compared to Helicoil Thread Insert Repair, this IS the most effective way. They did not hold up to a depth of over 28 ft - I tried Helicoils As a result, I ordered aluminium for 50 lb, as instructed in the Toyota Shop Manual. (Hyperion coils would have worked fine There is only one answer to all your problems! The first thing I would have done would have saved me WELL over an hour of frustration and effort. A number of ideas were tried - It is Z LOK that is the solution.

An economic solution that is good for the business
4/5

When someone tries to helicoil a 7, it's better to replace a bell housing or get a Timesert bigsert kit than to change a bell housing. The starter of a Ford 3 If you don't have enough depth to run the tap over the tapered point, consider investing in a bottoming tap. Install ears are fragile, so make sure to have enough depth to run the tap over the tapered point. A few holes in aluminium can be drilled with the drill bit that comes with this kit, but for more it is garbage and grabs badly.

5/5

In 2003 Harley 88TC where the PO failed to use a torque wrench, this was used to fix the primary cover that had stripped threads. I appreciated the high quality of the kit and how easy it was Everything from the included bit to the included code worked as There was a small amount of grinding necessary to remove the top lip of the insert's collar in order to make a flat, machined surface for the gasket to rest upon. I used a dremel and it took me about 5 minutes. I would definitely recommend this purchase.

A great product that works really well! Thanks a lot! I stripped the threads of a pulley bolt hole on the mount as I changed the timing belt on my car

There were other things I tried, too (Heli- I had been looking for electrical coils, different sizes), but eventually came across Ez-coil Identify the location. It has a thick wall, which fits nicely into thick engine metal. It's just what I was looking for. Everything you need is in the kit, so it's easy to install. It was no problem for me to torque the bolt to spec (19 lb/ft).

I found it to be very helpful
5/5

In an attempt to fix an exhaust bolt that broke off on my chipper, I tried everything. To the original, I tap it to 1/4x20, then I tap it to 5/16, then I Then I bought another chipper because I couldn't handle the first one. I got these threaded inserts from a friend and they worked well. A new chipper has been purchased, which I am no longer required to use. It's great to have my old chipper working again.

It did what it was advertised to do
5/5

There was a threaded aluminum part on my outboard motor that was stripped. As well as this kit, I also ordered the stainless steel insert. performed the installation successfully on a piece of wood before beginning with the actual part. I did have to practice a few times to get a feel for how it would look. I was satisfied with the product.
