Stripped casing threads

[jimmo]

I have a couple of stripped casing threads where the bracket for my Taffy pipe mounts.
What size helicoils will I need and where's the best place to get em from?

Thanks

you could try step studs,tap the hole 7mm and just screw step stud in,
i think 8mm to 6mm are also available,

Yes Fred, its the 3 that hold on the rear bracket for the end can.

So I go for the m6 inserts then?

Should get those on ebay?
