1198 swinging arm/ hugger locating holes

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Barmbyduke, Dec 1, 2012.

  1. Does anyone know if the swinging arm will take either a rivet nut or a helicoil to repair one of the locating holes for the hugger as one of them appears to have a stripped thread and will not tighten fully?
     
  2. Off hand i cant remember what size they are probably m4? but you could run a tap down it just see if it cleans the thread, then you may be able to lightly nip the bolt up after. (worth a try but may not help). No reason why you can't helicoil but the problem will be getting access with the drill. unless you have a shallow 90' air gun which you could get in.
     
  3. Thanks Haydn, yeah it looks like it's going to be a tricky one?
