<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Keith, not trying to contradict Bob, just my
thought. I would try drilling and taping it to 8/32 before using the heli-coil.
The reason is the hole diameter. Make sure that there is enough material to use
a heli-coil, and also keep in mind, once you drill for the heli-coil
next will be replacement if anything goes wrong. with the drill and tap you
still have one more go at it. I tap an OS to 8/32 no problem.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a Webra 1.45 that has had the threads
stripped out of the screw holes that are used to mount the header. I need some
advice on the best way to fix this. Drill out and re-tap bigger?
Heli-coil? Another solution?</FONT></DIV>
