Has anyone used a helicoil thread to repair a stripped thread in plastic parts?
I have had a thread strip in a plastic steeting part on a HB D8T so was wondering if anyone has tried this repair and if it worked .
Hey mate, I have never used helicoil in anything. How big is the part you are wanting to re-thread? If the part was big and strong enough, you could use a red plug ( smaller than the green ones ) you use in brick walls etc. I reckon there is a size smaller than the red ones too.
Hi Dave
Hadn't thought of one of these plugs. I will have a look but I don't think I can use one as it is on one of the steering hub carriers. Now you have me thinking if there is enough room to fit a helicoil. I will need to pull it apart and have a good look.
Thanks.
Thanks for the info will pull it apart tomorrow and see if there is enough room
