fork drain screw bolt sheared
ka-ja:
Hi,
PM me and I will try to help, you need a 6mm helicoil by 1.5 depth if available, but a 6mm standard length should do, as the helicoil is far stronger than the original thread, and it seals under the bolt head, not on the threads---Ken
MikeM:
This is what i was going to order

m6 x1.0 x8mm ?

No, it's not a good idea to try and use 2! I have seen 1.5 dia ones which are 9mm long for M6, I may even have some buried at the back of my workshop, I will check for you tomorrow

Hairy, there would be no point sending Mike a helicoil without the tap and insert tool. Even if he bought a helicoil kit, it doesn't come with a tap wrench.
