using a helicoil kit
« on: November 18, 2013, 10:41:58 pm »
Hi,
I hope that you can advise me I have a pressure washer gear box that I have stripped the drain plug thread the bolt is 13.60.mm
If I used a 14mm helicoil kit would this work with that size hole.
Many Thanks
Mark

Yes providing the pitch and thread form is correct. Also use a ptfe washer to seal it as they are softer than alloy or copper washers. 14mm is a spark plug size
