Misssppelllleddd Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) A spindle like showed in the pictures for the helicoil instruction and only used one in that. Then it was a cylinder stud for a friend of mine and put two in that. And then it was a stud that was stripped out on a crankcase and used one in that. Helicoils work man. They aren't very hard to put in either. Just make sure you pay attention to what size drill bit you need. It says what size you need on the tap.

Misssppelllleddd Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 thanks i see u have a 87 shee to tahts what i have yup. and if you have a low serial/vin number then keep it and keep all original parts if you still have them! I can't remember off the top of my head but somewhere around serial number 2GU-00010500 and below have a rare and superseded part in them. Same thing with some other parts too. I saw them on a 1987 Banshee microfiche. I still have all original parts for my shee. So if I buy another one then all I have to do is transfer parts and make it 1987 original again. My old bottom end is sitting in a box somewhere so I don't have to worry about tearing up the old engine. So keep it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
