Re: Threads and torque Twin Ultramatic

Thanks for your answers.

The reason for my questions is that I (or rather the person who did the job before me) have ruined several threads in the aluminum transmission case, when using torques between 20 to 40 lbs.ft., and of course among others where the self locking screw is to be used.

Another thing is me finding Helicoils 7/16-14 in Scandinavia, I have tried this morning, will seemingly be like finding Whitworth in a U.S. origin car.
Any good suggestions what to do?
