Never tried them, though know how they work.
Mr Brock, I'm hoping to be at the Victory Wheelers show next Sunday so could bring a spare stud down if you can bring a selection of helicoils & the fitting tool.

Plodding on, very slowly.
With luck, the yokes & bars will be re powder-coated by the middle of the week so I can get the front end back together. Then I've got to strip the head off the motor again to sort out the buggered stud. After that the rear brakes need doing as well as the rear guards, before moving on to brake lines & cables. Still got to build an exhaust system yet too. I'd like a stainless set-up but might have to do it in mild steel to start with. Very short of pennies at the moment.

Aww shucks guys. Thanks! Having pestered SaddleBags for weeks, he's now made my stainless pedal linking rods -mainly to shut me up I think, & also machined down an M12 bolt to produce a new cylinder head stud with a12mm end. All I have to do now is remove the head, tap the buggered thread in the crankcase out to 12mm & screw the new stud in. Thanks SB, you are indeed a star. |

He should, but then he'd also have another mortgage, business rates, services and utility bills. cuistomers bothering him with silly questions. No time for himself and Tanya or time to build his own very nice looking trike. Hey Andy! do you think you might get it done before my GSXR is finished? Ps if that cheque for the stickers is still lost ( how that happened to a postie is beyond me, you'd think they'd get a posties post to him ) PM me your current postal addy and I'll get another one off to you. Regards Gary |

No cheque here TT so I've PM'd you the details. Thanks. I've just sold my flat & finally freed myself of the misery of mortgage payments, so no, no business premises for me thank you! I keep getting told I'm too eager to help everyone else out & should be concentrating on getting my own stuff on the road, so that's sort of what I'm doing at the moment. Trying to push on & get my own trike done, though time & a crippling lack of pennies is holding things up a bit. Then I want to crack on with my Pop pickup. Can't have Shaun getting his on the road first! We're also quietly collecting parts together for a trike for Tanya. It just isn't the same tagging along behind a bike run in a car! She's more than happy to muck in & do the work herself though -& I'm happy to let her! So I'll be involved more in an advisory capacity on that one. After that. Hmm, who knows!  |
