Who Does Thread Inserts In Brisbane / Coast

[«Cyph3r»]

Hi All,

Thought someone here might know about this.

I have a set of calipers that I plan on eventually fitting to my s14, however the thread in them is 14mm and the s14 knuckes/hubs/whatever are 12mm standard.

What I want to do, rather than drill out the holes on the hub/knuckle to suit, is to get someone to put some stainless steel thread inserts into the calipers to change them to the smaller thread size.

Anyone know a good place around Brisbane or the Sunshine/Gold Coasts that can do this that is fairly priced?

Thanks

Jamie

do you know what the thread pitch is in the caliper, M14 1.5 is my guess and the M12 should be the same although it could be a 1.25.

i may have what you need, i work at yatala and live at upper coomera if you need help.

called a helicoil, i know a mob called general bearing co at morning side brisbane sell them.

i think its a reducer he wants dave.. helicoil will require him to re-tap the part to suit the helicoil.. and i don't know if you can get a helicoil that will go M14 tap size - M12..

Yeah, not sure exactly what I'm chasing to do the job.

I know beer baron had it done to his r34 gtr calipers but he's obviously not locally.

Checked the front and the caliper thread is M14 x 1.5

The thread I want to change it to is M12 x 1.5

None of the threads on the calipers are damaged, only doing this purely for ease of installation as this will be easier for me than drilling the knuckles and just seems like a better solution.
