The thread in my engine casing that holds the swinging arm spindle has stripped. What's the remedy for this? The threaded hole is rather inaccessible.
Thanks
Alan

Re: Swinging arm spindle
Hi Alan,
Had that happen on the engine of my Sports Arrow, got a friend to fit a Helicoil that he told me was 1/2" UNC 13 TPI and its been fine since.
I had to totally strip out the engine down to a bare crankcase to make it easier for him to handle a lighter casing.

Thanks, good to know that it can be done. I was starting to look for a replacement crankcase!
