Got a 1356 tcase with 5 of the 6 mounting bolt threads stripped - is there enough meat on the case to heli coil them or do I need to find a new case front?
Heli coil taps remove very little material compared to a regular tap, which will help prevent cracking if it is thin. Once the tap is run there should be little worries. I recommend cleaning the hole out after tapping and install the heli coil with loctite. I have had heli coils back out. Make sure to lube the bolt to prevent loctite adhering to the bolt and helicoil.
