Jazza Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Hello All In the process of restoring a 1976 RS 125DX. Almost ready for it`s MOT, I know they are not required for a MOT but I have a problem. The right hand mirror threads are useless, The mirror wont screw in , the threads are well worn, IT is a Left hand thread. Anyone got a Left hand helicoil/recoil kit? Any suggestions for repairing it? Thanks
blackhat250 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 You could put a R/H, threaded mirror on, [aftermarket. ] and just use the normal M8 Helicoil, dunno about L/h helicoils,
Jazza Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks. Yes thats what I`ll be doing, Left hand helicoil kit £100 plus pounds, Already seen some that will do, 1
Bikerboy1000 Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 You could drill out the knackered thread. Fill the hole with JB Weld. Let it go rock hard. Drill and tap to a left or right hand thread depending on which mirror you find. Or Get someone to aluminium weld the hole ready for drilling/tapping. Steve
Alan.Tdm Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 Would any of theses fixes work on threads in a alloy Top Yoke ?
Moderator Airhead Posted April 30, 2017 Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Alan a helicoil would work, which dt125 is it?
Moderator Airhead Posted April 30, 2017 Moderator Posted April 30, 2017 Ahhh I was asking because I have a spare top yoke but that's for DTMX
