houseape1000 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi all I have a stripped thread that holds the stator to crankcase.

Thanks I dont know what size it is but I would see if there is an imperial size just a little bigger and re-tap to suit. You can use a heli-coil but again this involves drilling. Is there no way of drilling a little to the side of the original hole and tapping that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedfromthecircus Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 The best option would be a helicoil insert but the kits can be pretty pricey. Chemical metal resins are pretty good these days so if it is not got too big a load on it it's worth a try. JB Weld or Plastic padding chemical metal are both decent.

anotherfive Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks so far guys. My problem is that the mounting point is raised out of the main casing so there is very little metal surrounding it. The stator currently holds with two fixings but I would like the third to work as well. I like the idea of the imperial oversize and may give that a go first.

jsp Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 how can someone as skinny as you strip a thread, or was your lass putting your bike back together ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Piccie please1 You only need a mm on each side(plus as much support material) to install a heli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
