i think yours may have had a bolt screwed too far in. i have my horn casts done for example so i can carry a sparewheel holder on the threads and they are very thin but have not cracked.the-brickie wrote:But do not timeserts rely on expansion at the end to hold them in place? I've had a casing with them in that had pushed out the internal part of the thread housing, some so bad as to expose the timesert. I'm just thinking that if the walls of the hole are gonna be thin mabe a helicoil (can they be locktited in place?) might be a less stressful method.
you just have to make a judgement yourself i guese but the way i see it if its going to brake then i want it to happen in the workshop not the m25 so i do go ott sometimes.
