HI all.
I need a bit of assistance, as one of the 3/8" UNF engine crossmember bolts has knocked the helicoil repair out of it's thread. Does anyone near Dartmoor have an insert I could pinch, and one of the insertion tools I could use? I'm pretty stuck without it!
Thanks!

Hav you tried Ebay?
Should be cheap enough.

It will come in handy even if you never use it

Yeah, I've relented and ordered some. I was hoping someone would have one that could sort it out before the weekend, but I've bodged it well enough to get all the suspension back on etc, and can fix it properly when the bits arrive next week.

Helicoils like many other tools are a nice to have as when you need them they are very handy, my boss once commented about us all having big roll cabs at work as 99% of the time we just use basic stuff but when you need the technical stuff you need it.

Yeah, they're invaluable on the odd occasion. I've got a big pack of metric ones, which have saved me every so often, but 3/8ths is a curve ball!
