Ive found the threads in my gearbox mount holes have been stripped and need to know to fix it. The smaller M10 hole is completely screwed and the bigger M12 holes arent much better and inside the hole i found what looks to be pieces of a helicoil but im not 100% sure
Anyone know the best way to fix this? Should i just tap bigger holes straight into the aluminum and use bigger bolts or should i be using something like a helicoil or a time sert and stick to original sized bolts?
Is the M12 bolt in the picture the right length bolt because it looks short to me but thats what came out of it..
Cheers
