FOAK: broken studs

I've got hold of some Blue Point ones that aren't the usual camembert
left hand tapered screw thing.

These are square section, with a hardened flute down each side of the
square. I'm sure they'll come in handy, someday ..

Yeah, i've got a load of them, but probably cross head rather than
socket head. Drop me a line.

Philistine ..

Rgds,

No need for that, when the stud evacuated the hole, it took most of the
thread with it. Trying to bodge the new stud in (OEM Ace hardware, as the
local Suzuki place kinda sorta hadn't got around to looking at their
Internet orders yet) and tightening that to the specified 10Nm took care
of the remainder of the thread. Helicoil time, and I'll have to check
with the local dirt bike empornium if they have the kit. Should have,
the PO can't be the only hamfisted owner around here.

OTOH it was amazing to see how much of a difference half an hour of
going around the bike, lubricating things that should move and bolting
down things that shouldn't makes.
