Chris Cook Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi how much would it cost to get 1 side of brake mounts helicoiled back to m5 or tapped to m6? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Don't get it tapped. Seriously. Don't.It shouldn't cost much to helicoil. Google "Helicoil kits" and check out the M5x24tpi (I think, something like that - it'll come up with something fairly similar, or someone will correct me here...) helicoils. £20 at most, I seem to remember.Just talk to your local engineering type people, or a car garage, bikeshop - whereever. Shouldn't be too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 No problem.Before anyone asks "Why not tap to M6?", just think - you'll have to drill out your Magura clamps, your booster, and your spacers and then have to get the new size bolts anyway. It's a load of hassle, and means you can't really sell your old boosters/clamps/spacers on 'cos they'll not be of any use to anyone, really. Not to mention, if you strip the M6, you're up to M7 then. Not so good Helicoils are just stronger by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 buy your own heli kit and do it yourself, Peice of cake, My kit cost 20 quid and ive re-threaded all my mounts, ALOT stronger then standard threads.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
