Hi all

I have a stripped thread that holds the stator to crankcase. There does not seem to be enough meteal to tap out and fit a bigger bolt so I was thinking of filling it and re drilling but with what Can anyone recommend a product?

Thanks

I dont know what size it is but I would see if there is an imperial size just a little bigger and re-tap to suit.

You can use a heli-coil but again this involves drilling.

Is there no way of drilling a little to the side of the original hole and tapping that ?

The best option would be a helicoil insert but the kits can be pretty pricey. Chemical metal resins are pretty good these days so if it is not got too big a load on it it's worth a try.

JB Weld or Plastic padding chemical metal are both decent.

Thanks so far guys.

My problem is that the mounting point is raised out of the main casing so there is very little metal surrounding it. The stator currently holds with two fixings but I would like the third to work as well. I like the idea of the imperial oversize and may give that a go first.

Cheers

how can someone as skinny as you strip a thread, or was your lass putting

your bike back together ?

Piccie please1 You only need a mm on each side(plus as much support material) to install a heli.
