I'm in North Essex if that helps

Dom,

Will the hole ali weld? John Howe could do that, or my top welder chap near Adastral Park. Come to think of it, John Howe might have Helicoils. Do you need M6 (TS1/RB/Imola) or M7 (everything else)?

I guess you know that Paul T has M6 Helicoils......

Cheers Martin, it's M7, just threaded so won't need welding, hopefully. I'll try to get it timesert as it appears that most people reckon they're better.

Last time I went to see John Howe a couple of years back with a similar problem with a Mugello barrel he had some stepped studs. M8 one end M7 the other. Just drilled and tapped the barrel to M8 and replaced with the stepped stud.

£30 for a coil kit.do it yourself.
