[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 146335, member: 1632"] Actually there is a brand out of Australia called Recoil. They are part of ALCOA. I have a 1/4 whitworth repair kit from them I used to repair a few stripped threads for the timing cover. They have a large range covering many thread forms. [URL]https://www.hfsindustrial.com/us/trade-series-thread-repair-kit.html[/URL] Helicoil as a brand is owned by Stanley Engineered Fastenings. I have 1/4" kits in both UNC and BSW, the wire cross sections are different. The Helicoil has sharp corners, where as the Recoil the cross section the corners are rounded a bit. If I query 1/4 bsw helicoil webpages show Recoil kits under a helicoil heading, as opposed to Helicoil, heading. I think helicoil has become the generic name for wire thread repair and folks don't realize there are a myriad of brands out there. Sorry if that all seems a bit pedantic. Steven [/QUOTE]
