Help - Engine Mount Hull Insert Stripped

[ScottyRocker]

Hi guys

Stripped one of my engine mount hull inserts in my superjet, just wondering if I could get away with tapping this insert out and using larger bolt? Or what are my other options? This seems to be the easiest fix.

Cheers

Heli-coil!

Helicoil with original M8x 1.25 size is best option if it isnt boogered to badly. Otherwise you can go oversize or remove and replace insert.

did you try just running a tap through it? My guess is the first few threads are messed up so you can't get bolt started?
