Re: John's 1935 1201 Coupe for Two or Four Passengers, RHD in Tasmania

G'day all,

Back on deck after an extended leave of absence. Motivated to move forward with the restoration of the coupe.

First priority is to get the water jacket ready for re-installation. I have 6 broken bolts on the water jacket; see picture attached. Wondering if anyone has experience with helicoil inserts for this application?

I had a long and very productive phone conversation with Peter Toet in Canberra who advised this course of action. Do I just jump into the engine bay with a hand drill? Or is a greater degree of precision advised?

What size helicoils are needed?

Do people think I should do something entirely different?

As always, thanks in advance for your advice.

Cheers from Tassie,

John
