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.

I use these. Maybe Amazon or Ebay sells them.

Easy to install and haven't had one fail yet.

Yes.I've used them a couple of times when the thread on the chaincase is stripped (the one that holds the tailpipe bracket of the exhaust)
