Richard Daugird Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I got some irons for my fan(not cheap!) but most of the holes are stripped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Never used a heli coil that small, but I don't see a reason it wouldn't work. How does the height of the heli coil compare to the thickness of the iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 A spinning blade and centrifugal forces might be too much for it being that small. No way to simply tap into a size twelve screw? The head could be modified my your machinist friend if it's an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the original screws are 10-32, how would the forces become be too much for 10-32? A helicoil is stronger than the original threads in all but the most exotic of materials.

Dave Hoatson Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 No problem using 10-32 helicoils. Get the correct length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
