I want to install a bolt into a stripped thread. I'm going to use a helacoil. I don't have the install kit, but I have the helacoil inserts. I don't ever have to take these bolts out again. My plan is to drill out the hole, rethread it to the same thread as the outside of the helacoil. Then put locktite on the outside of the helacoil insert, then just drive the bolt in.
1: Will this work? 2: Any other pointers would help, also, any problems I might encounter 3: I've never used these. so any advice you guys can offer would be appriciated 4: Remember< i never want this bolt to come out- posted
