Where can I get a m12x1.25 helicoil in the Peoria area???
The upper transaxle mounting bolts I buggered up in my trans pulled out yesterday. I've called Kalina, OReily, 3 Advance, Winners Circle, Autozone and nobodys got one that big. Hell I'll take a m12x1.5...anything M12 -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I found a m12x1.75 kit at A&I.
I'm worried the coarser thread might not be strong enough for the aluminum. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

You could always drill and re-tap a size bigger.

Coarse thread is actually best for threading parts directly into aluminum.

Well got one fixed.
Decided to do the other one that was marginal. Also I figured eventually I swap the different bolts accidently and mess up the inserts. Well, I somehow the bottom of the insert out of alignment and it basically jumped a thread!  So know the bolt won't thread all the was in.Back on the hunt tomorrow to fix a helicoil removal tool. Hopefully that's easier to find. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
