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

You could put a R/H, threaded mirror on, [aftermarket. ]  and just use the normal M8  Helicoil,   dunno about L/h  helicoils,

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.
