[VAC] Re: Stripped threads

Oliver,
 Do they make HeliCoils in 8-32 size? I've never seen them in sizes
smaller than 1/4-20.

If it was mine, I'd tap it out to 10-32 if the threads were at all
shakey. It's just a bit larger, not enough to cause trouble, yet will
make for a significantly stronger thread. Install the setscrew with some
LocTite Threadlocker to keep it from falling out.
