Helicoil sets
I am looking to rethread a spark plug thread, but which helicoil is recommended. Please let me know with details of where to purchase one; Does anyone
have any recommendations regarding this?
Thanks
Greg

Have a butchers on Ebay, loads of them advertised on there. I have got a couple of sets from various dealers, (usually the cheapest, :-) ) and they
have been fine. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

This is a full insert rather than a classic helicoil

Use the insert or similar as above. Do NOT use a helicoil in a spark plug thread as it may wind itself into the cylinder and it's bye bye
engine!
