I bought a 6mm drill bit that is etched as being 5mm so now I have over drilled the TB holes....I don't know what I am going to do, I really don't want to get them welded up and start again...I can fit nuts on the bolts but it'll look a bit bodgeAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

But yea like u said it would be better to helicoil as u get to keep the standard size bolt but if not then ud just have to check if an 8mm bolt with fit through the holes in the tb.Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2
