Re: Stus-List Helicoils

Yes, you drill the hole bigger and tap for the threads on the outside of the helicoil or thread insert. The other main advantage of using one of these over just tapping for a larger bolt is in softer base materials (aluminum, plastic) it will distribute the screw load and prevent it from

Re: Stus-List Helicoils

David,The purpose of helicoils is to repair threads in a hole, so you can use the same size faster. Are your fasteners stripped or the threads in the hole? Where on your curler are the threads damaged? Doug Mountjoysv Rebecca Leah C Landfall 39Port Orchard yacht club Original message

Re: Stus-List Helicoils

Helicoils are just one option to deal with stripped threads. IMO if you can go with a larger bolt then it is a better option. Some applications such as spark plugs have limited "meat" and fixed diameter threads so staying with original size is really probably the only option. In other

Re: Stus-List Helicoils

Hi David Yes, allows the use of the original screw, so whatever is fastening to it doesn't have to be modified. Procedure is to drill and tap oversized, and install a helicoil - essentially a coil of square wire, wound up like a spring.  The wire engages in the new threads and is sized so

Re: Stus-List Helicoils

That’s about it. You would have to drill the other piece to fit a larger bolt and there might not be enough metal. On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 9:52 PM David Knecht via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I have seen mention of helicoils several times on this list but I have no > experience

Stus-List Helicoils

I have seen mention of helicoils several times on this list but I have no experience with them. I have several stripped screws on my Harken furler and was thinking they might be useful to repair. What is unclear to me from what I have read is the reason to use them. I still have threads

Hi, When we bought our C 29-2 4 years ago, the dodger being in great condition was a big plus. It didn't affect the price much but increased the value of the boat. I never think about investing in my boat as something that will give me any return on my investment. I think about the improvements
