tonyp Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi, I have a 04 Beta with 4-pot AJP front caliper, and have stripped the thread in the lower fixing mount. Sounds like a new one is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamjayzee Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Helicoil? Gives you a stronger and more durable thread than tapped aluminium I did the lower mount on my Rev 3, sounds like exactly what you've done! I have some trade connections, but any precision engineering company will Helicoil this for you for the price of a couple of pints. In case you weren't aware, Helicoils are wire thread inserts. The hole is enlarged very slightly and the insert 'wound' in. It is stainless steel, so is stronger than the aluminium it is inserted into. Once fitted, you'll be fine.

mattylad Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 A better solution is a Wurth Timesert which is a solid version of a helicoil. Having use them both I bought the Wurth kit which was mega expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
