Anyone willing to loan me a Time sert m5x0.8?

[Backtroller]

It looks like I will need to do 2 or possibly 3 time serts in a Husqvarna 395 for the top cover. Kits are pricey and I don’t see myself doing more in the future.

I’d pay shipping both ways for the tools and pay you for the inserts

I’d like to do the repair once and hopefully never have to think out it again.

Otherwise, if I buy the kit would anyone be interested in buying it cheap when I’m done lol?

Id prob buy the kit off ya after ur done if it comes to that.

I tried a cheap kit off of ebay. not sure I would suggest them. They work, but thats about it. I found the inserts are really hard to break the tab off of, and fitment isnt perfect. Did the job though

 

[Backtroller]

Was it an actual time sert kit or an off brand?

I will check to see if I have that size in my kits when I get to work. I'm pretty sure I have it in my Cadillac kit.

It was off brand. I was just trying to add info for anyone else looking for alternatives.

I checked my kits.
Smallest I have is M6, up to M20.

Thanks for checking. I appreciate it.

I have used this style at work and didn't need a tool. Just ran the tap in and out until I was able to easily thread the insert in there.

I plan on using these on my 395 too lol.

Want to try it sooner than later and let me know how it worked? Lol

 

[Dub11]

I placed an order for the inserts that need a flat nose screw driver to install and a 6.9mm drill bit.

Of course I for got screws lol.

 

[Backtroller]

No placeclocal has them or a clue of what they are

What size is the drill bit in that kit?

 

[Backtroller]

I discovered these Wayne. Not sure if this work but it takes a 5/16-18 tap I believe.

I got some stainless steel ones from McMaster Carr on the way that look like that and the 6.9mm drill bit to go with it. I just hope I have tap at work for it lol.

I just doubled checked M8 1.25

 

[Backtroller]

M6 seems to be the smallest metric they carry in stainless.
