General TR Head-studs, torques and sizes

[alanjohnturner]

We have been having an interesting thread on the UK TR-Register forum which started with a poor chap
with a stripped thread in the block.

This had been bodged about by a PO and it took quite a while to recover the situation.

Along the way we discovered a few valuable bits of knowledge which I now share with you.

This problem could happen to anyone.

All good information from the posts on other forum.
I'm not a big fan of the helicoil... I know they work and lots of people use them. My preferred threaded insert is a Keensert.
Have a look....

I agree completely about Helicoils and have been regularly posting the same advice on the UK forum.
However this will be tricky at the bottom of a 4-inch hole.

Nice video BTW.

I am actually considering making replacement studs with UNF one end and something bigger on the other end.
