Not a clue if he’ll do mobile but MW racing (Mike Ward) in Rainford sorted mine a few years back.J..R wrote:Hello,
Just a quick one, does anyone know of any mobile Helicoil/Insert fitters in the Northwest?
Had a slight leak from the Oil Sump on the Intruder and turns out the first two/three threads have snapped on the insert.
The original thread looks ok, just can see where its gone in the photo below
Many thanks in advance.

Where sella them? Never seen them, look like a well better idea of there is enough material to allow it.lee wrote:Used loads over the years but tbh not a fan.
They are ok for a quick repair but prefer the solid self tapping type.
