<VV> Thread repair problem solved

[N. Joseph Potts]

It has always been my understanding (somehow) that the external threads on
Heli-Coils, etc. are NOT standard bolt threads. Nonstandard combinations of
pitches and diameters.

Thanks to all for the input and ideas on the 1/4-20 thread problem I wrote
about. As luck would have it, a friend told me about a small privately owned
parts house in the area, and they had what I needed in stock - by
Perma-Coil. For
those interested, the drill size needed was a 17/64", but I have not been
able to ascertain the tap size yet. Kit was also 20% cheaper than at the
LAPS
:-).
