Top End Build Help!
Johnwebley:
Helicoil will sort that
No hassle, just extra work
Those small bolts are prone to stripping

Yup 6mm helicoil kil, not too expensive and you will use it more
Neilw:
Phew, another new skill to acquire!
Anything to watch out for when buying a kit - i see cheap ones on ebay are they any good?
Laverda Dave:
Buy cheap and repent at your leisure! Things are normally cheap on eBay for good reason, 90% are absolutely crap! I bought a 90deg screwdriver to adjust the carbs on the NC30. A Seeley screwdriver was £40! I bought one on eBay for £12 and it lasted all of five minutes. It was so cheaply made inside the cable stripped as soon as I tried to adjust the balance screw that has a spring behind it, it is now in the bin and I've bought a decent Seeley item that I should done in the first place.
A good helicoil kit is made by a company called 'UniThead'. They should have a website. You get the full kit in a plastic box, worth the money and always works first time.
Bryanj:
With tools i would agree but i bought one of these about 3 years ago and so far bought over 100 coils extra, there is a nice tap holder i got as well if i can find that i will post it seperate
