[evil ewok]

evening,

had the rear subby heelboard front mounts replaced with the repair panels today, and when i went to fit the beam axle one of the bolts wouldn't screw in. upon closer inspection the captive nuts thread is damaged i must of missed a bit of weld splatter or something on the thread before i tried screwing in the bolt.

my question is: what is the thread size of the nut and is it possible to get a tap for it to try and re-tap it? if not is it possible to dril the nut and re-tap it to m6/mate?

cheers

think theyre 5/16 UNF, you could tap them, if that fails you could helicoil it?

i got a tap set from moss http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/
