98golded Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, the lower motor mount on the right side of my shee, the one on the downtube I'd guess you call it, the lowest hole was stripped out. Left it up to my dad to fix it while I went on vacation and he fucked it up royally. I was wondering, since it looks like a threaded insert, if anyone knew where I could find these types of inserts? Or what they're called?I'll just get my fingers on a stepdown bit and drill the old one out and put a new one in and weld it if I can find the right size. I'm not exactly sure what size the bolt & threads are either. Doing a complete resto of the shee. New powdercoat, wheels, top end, shocks, plastic, etc is in the works. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't believe it matters either, but just in case I need the right side, all I need is a section big enough to get both holes, probably about 6 to 8 inches. I figured it'd be easier to weld that way rather than trying to reach in between the boltholes with a tig torch trying to get arc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectbanshee33 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Have you tried a Heli-Coil or an EZ-Lok insert? I prefer the EZ-Loks but you need to drill out a larger hole than you would for a Heli-Coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the deal is, there was a bolt broken off in the hole, I let my dad drill it out, and he drilled through the side instead of actually drilling out the bolt, he drilled it off center and fucked up the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
