Anyone On Here Do Re-Tapping?

That bolt looks in a bad way but not beyond repair. M10 should be easy and cheap enough to retap but would try an m10 nut just to make sure it is what you think

oldskoolg60:
m10 x 1.0 is metric extra fine . taps are available off ebay, id get a plug tap as theres no "lead in" especially with it being a shallow tapped hole

Ta again fellas.

Yeah Clint, the bolts can stay as is (the knacked thread parts are where they go into the dropouts so all good there). Nowt but fun with this hub - someone had also pressed the cones on the wrong way round so the bearings were shot n'all.

Bit worried I'd bugger up the thread re-tapping meself.

oldschoolace:
Bung up a pic of the axle that needs tapping bud, try and catch the threads in the light so we can see how bad it is in there  :daumenhoch:

My Mum had a clear out the other week of loads of tools my brother had left in her shed, Pikey rag and bone man had a field day. My son bought a few bits home, Including a tap/die set if it is M10 x 1.0 I think I have one I could pop it in the post to you. Just send it back when your done with it :daumenhoch:
Ive done profile axles before, I bought a tap for that think it cost me over a tenner, But it did the job.
