Bell Housing Bolts

[blandy 29]

Does anyone know the thread of the gearbox mounting bolts - specifically the lowest one by the driveshaft. After building up a box a little while ago I decided to fit it today only to find out the threads in the lowest hole are far from ideal so looking to possibly helicoil as really don't want to end up swapping casings

Thanks guessing a helicoil should be adequate? Concerns me that there’s only a single bolt on the lower side of the box.

I’ve only just built the box as well which is a pain otherwise I’d stick the internals into a spare xsara case I have which has the extra part that bolts to the sump.

yep, should be stronger than the original thread, a timesert may be an idea if its a thread thatll be undone a few times rather than just the once.

Good shout - being on my car itll likely be on and off monthly lol
