K04 Threaded insert replacement?

[s3dave]

The Wurth Timeserts are mega expensive for the tiny kit you get. £1 an insert too for when you use the 5 that come with the kit. Far better than heli-coil though in my opinion.

I have a dud K03 down the shed, so will see if I can get the inserts out of that and get some detailed measurements/drawings made.

im sure the ko3 are just tapped mate..

Last time i contacted Wurth i had to buy a box of 50 @ £78 or something...and yes i have an account with them..,, not a random cash sale, as we all know what happens to there pricing if so...

[badger5]

nothing. they wind in to a shoulder. you can try loctite, but given the temps they see it wont work

 

[Westy]

I tried loctite when I still used the original bolts that would rattle loose. The loctite burnt off straight away and I ended up with smoke in the cabin lol.
