Jazza Posted February 23, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted February 23, 2017 Share 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazza Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerboy1000 Posted April 7, 2017 Share 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.
