It takes 1/4 x 28 nft threads. I didn't realize helicoil kits were as expensive as they are.
Is that the way to go or is there some other way I should consider?
Tap it out to the next size up in SAE or metric?
Or replace the nut with a removeable one.
Aren't most coarse thread? 1/4"x 20
I would convert it to the later model kit like one for a 99. Just look at a later bike and trace the outline of the hole and buy the seat screw kit for like 4 bucks. All done nice n neat and easy to fix in the future.
