I bought a 6mm drill bit that is etched as being 5mm so now I have over drilled the TB holes....I don't know what I am going to do, I really don't want to get them welded up and start again...I can fit nuts on the bolts but it'll look a bit bodgeAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea like u said it would be better to helicoil as u get to keep the standard size bolt but if not then ud just have to check if an 8mm bolt with fit through the holes in the tb.Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't enough meat in the casting to enlarge the hole to more than 6mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
