Thread Repair Recommendation......

I have ez lock solid inserts in 5 and 6 mm if you would like one sent. I know the 5mm need a 8mm hole to install. The 6mm would obviously take a larger hole. No special tools needed just a tap and red Loctite. Basically a readily available version of the idea suggested of making an insert on a lathe.

Where did you purchase them?
I might take a trip to the hardware store and look around today.

If you wanna send one, I won’t say no.
I can’t have too many options.

I got them from fastenal. I've used a few packs of the m5 over the years. Quite a few on recoil bolts. Send me your address and I'll get a couple heading your way.

On the install I do wire brush the loctite off that is applied already on the insert and use the traditional red loctite. The loctite that comes on them may be fine but I didn't trust it.

Wrap some duct tape around the bolt and cross thread that mfer in.

Good enough for who it's for.
