Stripped head bolt hole mod "test phase"

[FG ONICS]

Please note, i have no idea if this is going to hold up so it is just in a TEST PHASE




use a long m5 bolt & a m5nyloc with araldite on the nyloc.

clean the hole out first!

it appears to work atm :cup-1:

that's a good idea , i wonder if you could do that to the other side, you would get a real good seal ....................Phil

heli-coils are another way to do this

I would have opted for the heli-coil/threadsert type stuff.

the stainless heli-coil would have been stronger than the original thread

hmm, sounds like your hole is to big to fit the correct heli-coil or you don't have teh correct heli-coil at all, also did you use loctite brand red thread locker?, ever try using ca glue instead of threadlocker (yes it works)

no its the metal is to thin mines a 2 bolt bottom end converted to 4 bolt by oddie the helicoil wont stay in it keeps coming out when you remove the bolt so its now a nut and bolt setup without problems and yes i use loctite on all bolts into alloy you cant not

incorerct you can use loctite on alloy i have seen it done and done it myself many times (albeit on aluminum engines for harleys and custom bikes LOL)

i cant comment on that i know i personally have spent more on breakages trying to run my baja in circles in the front yard at low speeds than i expected to and am still wondering where the "quality" is i heard so much about for a genuine hpi baja :lol:
