Hmm, my 1971 Arctic Cat Panther 303W with the Wankle rotary engine has a failed
insert in the sparkplug hole. I've lived with it for years but it means I can't
change sparkplugs as the old insert is glued (?) to the old spark plug. Maybe a
better quality insert would have better results.

Thread inserts by time-sert. I _like_ 'em.

Not especially low cost, and you will need room to drill out the
existing hole. The rest is easy.
