Re-coil or Helicoil needed

Good one, keep us all posted.

Gotta get that chainsaw-with-rabies machine going again eh?

I stripped the 7mm thread on a camshaft journal holder , I ended up getting it helicoiled at Motor Reconditioners http://www.motorreconditioners.co.nz on hills rd, christchurch after searching around half a dozen different places. Nobody had the 7mm helicoil and didnt want to do it myself due to the huge cost of getting it wrong. Got motor reconditioners to buy in a kit for me especially and install the helicoil for me, knowing that i would be paying for the kit plus installation. But ending up doing a cheaper deal which meant they kept the 7mm helicoil kit even though they would mostly likely never need to use it again which was pretty good of them. So if you need a 7mm helicoil they have the kit to do it for anyone that has the same problem in the future.

If there is enough material, drill out and tap an M9 or M10 thread. Make a steel or aly M10 to M7 slug and loctite it in.
