I think that would be a bad idea, you'd easily lose track of what was unf and what was metric On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

I've had lots of issues with the one of the diff plate bolts that hold the exhaust downpipe bracket, it might have been over torqued at some point but seems pretty easy to strip. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

No because, by design, the helicoil tap is exactly the same pitch (TPI) as the original thread to minimise metal removal and make re-tapping the damaged thread easier. The only real way to swap thread forms would be threaded inserts (with the original thread completely removed), not helicoils. Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

You drill 0.2-0.3mm above the original major diameter when helicoiling. There are no original threads left.

I wouldn't swap thread size especially not to metric. Future owners will curse you. Edited by PhilR on 1st Jan, 2016. |

I find it hard to believe you are struggling, but if you are, I can easily get some 5/16-18 and ship them at cost... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:
