[QUOTE="eyolf, post: 3109157, member: 257"] Flywheel doesn't look all that hard to fix if you want to put in a thread insert. Time serts are a great product, but hard to find: there are others that are similar. Jergens makes inserts that have what amounts to red locktite on them and seem to work well; they also use standard threads, so you just drill out about 2 sizes too big, tap to suit the inserts you use and you're dialed. If you have the right drill and tap, just buy the inserts; 1/4-5/16-3/8 are about $3 per. Helicoil kits and Timesert kits start at about $60 for the same size and you only get about 4 or 5 repairs. I fixed 4 stripped 5/8" holes in a tractor third-member housing for about $70, including buying the S&D drill, the tap and the inserts. Still holding today. Helicoil kit would have been just as much or more, and not as trustworthy. I got mine at a Fastenal store not too far away; I don't know what other sources are out there [/QUOTE]
