ip2 Threaded insert on frame failed

Post by spanner boy »

Hi anybody got any experience with repairing the Threaded inserts in the box section frame on an interpol 2? One of the inserts holding the carb on has failed . I'm currently looking at M8 riv nuts but l think they need to be air tight or am I wrong? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

You could use a helicoil but when you break the tang off the insert it would be advantageous to recover it rather than let it float about in the frame cavity.
