Helicoil Inserts. Can I buy a kit that covers a range of sizes i.e. 6 to 10 mm. If so from where and how much?
Answers:
helicoil do kits, also recoil list a cheaper alternative thats just as good, to be honest though, given the price i'd buy what you need as jap bike threads arent common. if you buy a standard 10mm thread it will be 1.5 mm pitch whereas the japs use 1mm pitch etc.
also if you want to save cash buy a 7mm tap for 6mm inserts instead of the kit and make your own inserter.
Harbor freight tool stores have kits. I dont know how much but everything there is inexpensive.
You should be able to buy the kits at grainger, as two how much I am not sure.
Yes, the kit should have a range of sizes but not so sure where you might come across a kit in the UK. There is acompany here in N.Ireland called WORKSHOP SUPPLIES and they have pretty much everything for repairers. It might be worth searching the net.
You have to buy each size individually.
