Helicoil! Who knew?!

After finding the incorrect torque on an M5 bolt in an aluminum casting and totally making a mess of things, I did some research and bought a helicoil kit.

Easy. Seems legit. Fast install. I didn’t even pull the casting off my motorcycle and used a hand drill.

Felt like cheating.

And it worked.

I have always heard about helicoils and know the argument for nutserts as well as rivnuts.

But wow! This was a great fix.
