tcrhino Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 A M5 Helicoil might do the trick. You will need to enlarge the hole to 5,2 mm. Go to a mechanic if you're not confident with a repair like this! Alternative is to glue 15 mm. of threaded rod into the hole with Loctite 638 and use a M5 nut to close the cover. And do not use silicone, but use something that stays flexible (like Hylomar blue) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazTemple Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Managed to find a slightly longer screw as there was enough thread left at the bottom of the hole. Just needed a washer and tightened up nicely. Just need to fill her back up with oil but should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
