Hi All

Just noticed on my LI that the top exhaust casing stud is missing. On closer examination the casing thread is stripped and I can't get a new stud to bite.

My question: - is there any easy repair that doesn't involve taking out the engine, welding or specialist tools? i.e. oversized stud etc

MBD list a stepped repair stud, MBP 0392 @£5.65p. You will need to drill and tap to 10mm but this could be done in situ. Remove footboard and silencer and chaincase.

M8 helicoil kit you will be able to do it In situ not that expensive of eBay

Helicoil back to M8.

I have the kit & Coventry is not a million miles away from Warkton.

But you may be able to borrow the kit more locally.

I hope that helps.

Thanks chaps and Thank you WT#1 for your kind offer : - I have just bought a 131 piece kit - M5 - M12 for £25.99 as I need to repair a horncase too....
