threads

I pulled a few threads from my bell housing the other day installing a cummins into a NV4500 in my E350 fummins. I can (should have) replace the bolt with a longer one and use the 1/2" of remaining good threads which were tested to 30' lbs. But Id like to insure I wont have a problem again...

We try to be very fair with free speech (even though this isn't an american forum, also remember that), but the path a few of these threads have gone down lately is not something I believe this forum should be allowing. Until I speak with the other mods, I will delete any new anti-religious...

Buddy of mine stripped the left hand threads on the right mirror. I think he said 10mm. I see helicoil makes LH kits, but they are expensive.. Any suggestions on a fix?

I'm buying a pitbull restraint system and pitbull want's me to send my rear axle to them to custom make the pins needed to hold the bike axle. They want me to thread the nut on where it normally sits.. No problem. My problem is I have two Vmax's and I would like both bikes to fit the same...

Hi folks: What would you recommend to repair stripped threads in the Max's oil pan where the drain bolt screws into? (A REAL idiot I am very familiar with has misaligned the drain bolt when replacing this bolt and rendered the oil pan at least temporarily useless!) Thanks muchly. Elimax

I'm having some trouble getting the mixture screws to properly seat in 2 of my carbs. One side will thread in a few turns and then gets difficult to turn, the other will not even catch. I took an LED flashlight and looked at them and it looks like the threads need to be cleaned up. Does anybody...

Is it 10mm x 1.25, or is it 10mm x 1.00. Or something different?

:damn angry: I bumped the bike the other day and it fell over into the garage wall, the clutch lever went through the drywall and I got a small slice in the middle seat section from landing on the wifes vrod. I set it up and pushed the clutch res. back into position and noticed it was loose so...

got a problem.....I decided to have a look at a friend of mine who recently purchased an 85 vmax and the possible reason why it was running so terribly...I noticed that cyclinder number 4 carb was missing an A/F screw???? Anyway he purchased another one and behold it will not catch any threads...
