Discovery of helicoils
Thanks for the note. AFTER drilling and installing the rivnuts, I had thaught of the idea of a helicoil. Of course, this is after the rivnuts are installed, and misalighned. Isn't this the way it goes sometimes?
I am planning on leaving the rivnuts in at this point to keep the hole stout, and helicoil the oriunigial stripped 1/4-20 holes and use them. This winter, I will have a pad welded on.
Thanks!!
