Hi Trigger, I had assumed from Mike's last post that he had ordered a kit but couldn't get a kit with Dx1.5 coils:))

thanks all
just bought the 8mm kit , no big deal I will order the 9mm coils as well, great fun this drilling lark :-\
Trigger:
Sorry, Hairy. I am getting lost here Mike. Why have you ordered a 8mm helicoil kit when the oil drain bolt is 6mmx10mm? When you say 8mm do you mean the length???
Bryanj:
Get a cheap set of "rats tail" files as if there is any coil left outside after fitting to full depth you use the triangular file to put a notch in the coil wire at the edge of the hole and break off the excess---hope that makes sense asit's a damn site easier to do than explain
