Stripped FP Manifold

[djkorn1]

when it rains.... :no:

Anyway...stripped a second hole on my FP mani... One is already timecerted...(worked awesome).

Can't find the other time certs... can I screw a helicoil into it. (Found some in the garage). They are M8 x 1.25. It screwed right in....Can I just use the smaller bolt size while I wait for the other to certs? :shrug:

btw...My headpipe is identical to a SJ B pipe. Same size everything.

I REALLLLLLLY want to ride tomorrow. :chairshot:

May do that....just fire a hole through the whole thing??? Good idea.
