Stripped lower shock mount

Well my local store has the correct heilcoil. But they only sell them in a set of ten with the tap. $45. So if anybody has a helicoil (10mmx1.25) ill buy it off ya. If not ill just buy a clevis and be done with it

It'll be a lot longer wait, a few more dollars in parts, and more work involved in changing the clevis vs tapping and helicoiling. Plus, the helicoil will be stronger than the replaced clevis. Ring around a few engineering places. You might find someone who will install just the one coil for a good price, otherwise $45 for the kit of 10 isn't too bad either and you'll have spares for any future damages.. or sell it it someone else who no doubt strips theirs at some point.

I got stung $90 for my kit. But I needed it ASAP for a ride so I got it. I plan on selling the kit and remaining 9 helicoils on eBay. Hopefully get most of the money back.

Like Jakobi said ring round some engineering shops they're bound to have the individual helicoils and will install them for you for cheaper then $45.
