Please can I borrow?

[JohnHewes]

I need to helicoil one hole to 3/8" x 26tpi, and a kit of parts is available but costs over £40.
Does anyone have a kit I could borrow, please, and one helicoil , I am happy to pay any costs involved?
Thanks in anticipation, John

John do not despair yet, I have just 'dug' my repair kit out but it is 5/16, however I have a chum who may have what you want, I will try and contact him tomorrow see what he has, kind regards

Thanks for your replies, gents. It is actually for the bottom fixing of the propstand on my Velo MAC.
Mine has been stripped and a nut and bolt used, it still works like that but I would like a "proper" job.
Cheers
John

John, I spoke with my chum unfortunately he does not have one your size, however he tells me he obtained a kit, albeit M8, from ebay for less than a tenner so may be worth a look, secondly what about the local Velo club members, I am sec for our local group which consists of a good many engineers and they normally have something to help. kind regards
try eb no 122306363906, 'tis an online shop but he may do imperial threads

Thanks, I will try that too. I have left a request on the MAC Lovers forum already.
Kind regards, John

John I have just added a line to my previous posting, didn't refresh and see your reply,as a hoary oldschool investigator though I would be very wary of the 'Mac' lovers forum! kind regards
