Trying to fix somebodys "work". - 07/12/19 12:04 AM
Im trying to help a neighbor fix a stripped bolt hole. A friend of his took the old bolt out, it's M10x1.25. The threads came out with it. So, he grabbed a bolt that was the next size up that he had, 7/16x14 and threaded it in. Worked great, the bolt tightened down and held. Then he went to put the spacer in, and it wont fit. Its hardened steel and can't drill it. How can I fix the original hole back to M10x1.25? Will a Time-sert work for this? The hole is to big to heli-coil it back to the original size. Any ideas?
