Just use bolts with ALL thread. It was obvious to me in post 1 what had happened, Just look at the offset of the pipe.

joffa1 Member 143 Member For: 7y 6m 13d Posted 01/09/18 06:49 AM Author Share Posted 01/09/18 06:49 AM That’s a good idea with the all thread bolt. Didn’t realise til this morning that they didn’t thread all the way. Nice easy solution. Was kind of looking forward to doing my first tap! Anyhoo have picked up a bit of knowledge for when I need to do it down the track. Cheers. You reckon a hose join is a good idea or just use the part I ordered?

Is it a blind hole. Looks like 8 mm, if blind hole , run a 8 mm bottoming tap down to make sure the threads are tapped all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffa1 Member 143 Member For: 7y 6m 13d Posted 01/09/18 07:35 AM Author Share Posted 01/09/18 07:35 AM I think around $100 from memory. It’s ok it’s on its way already so prob just use it. Yeah its 8mm hole. Haven’t stuck any wire in yet will do tomorrow as spent most of day just cleaning off all the underbody and removing the split line and doing diff oil tightening manifold bolts etc. the fact that the bolt would do up tightly without the metal gasket in there is interesting. Correct me if im wrong but if the damage to the thread hole is right near the bottom then wouldn’t a shorter bolt be what I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tightens up when the bolt is engaged further into the thread, SO..... OR measure, is the bolt bottoming?, Come on dude sort it out, its not rocket science. I have given you all the information you need to sort the problem .. Edited 01/09/18 07:57 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffa1 Member 143 Member For: 7y 6m 13d Posted 01/09/18 07:57 AM Author Share Posted 01/09/18 07:57 AM (edited) Yeah I guess it’s the opposite, my thinking is that the damaged part of thread hole is right at the end so if the newer shorter bolt tightens up the component before it gets to the damaged part eureka. Anyway Could be wrong but I’ll get there. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it and sense some narkiness coming on so I’ll stop! cheers mate Edited 01/09/18 07:58 AM by joffa1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
