Title: Heli-coils
Post by: eliminator18 on July 16, 2020, 07:52:31 PM

When drilling the bowl for added droop studs, is it best to add heli-coils or drill and tap for studs them self?

If you use studs I don’t think you need them, but with that said I’ll defer to the experts...

Just drill and tap.  Do NOT use a hand drill!!!  That never comes out right.
