I've got a stripped head bolt in my Mac 45 and want to know what the closest next size up bolt I can use to retap the hole?
U have a PM.I've got a stripped head bolt in my Mac 45 and want to know what the closest next size up bolt I can use to retap the hole?
Agreed. I use Helicoil and the thread is stronger than the originalWhat about a Helicoil/Recoil Craig? Designed for exactly that situation. What size bolt is it?
I bought a used OS years ago with stripped holes. I repaired it with 2.5mm Helicoil.Have to admit I didn't think you could get helicoil that small (2.5mm). I had heard of people retapping the hole without redrilling with the next imperial size bolt.
Thanks Ian, will do.Craig, I have M3 Recoils at work, post me the case and I will fix it.
feel free to post your metric equivalents then!!Head bolt in MAC 45 is M3.(3mm)
When will you learn metric??
