Hi peeps
One of the threads has gone on the mag flange where the stator fixes too it.
What's the easiest fix?
Cheers for any help.

I'd use a timecert, failing that a helicoil.

Other than the 2 M6 threaded holes for removing the mag flange there aren't any other threaded holes where the stator sits.
Regardless, any stripped thread can be fixed with a helicoil or timesert. The trick is making sure it goes in straight.
Cheers for the advice fella's I'm gonna go down the helicoil route I think.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Are the eBay kits any good? Because I've had some proper shite off their.

I use these. Maybe Amazon or Ebay sells them.
