Default I Need to Borrow an AP/Hardbar Caliper Bracket this Weekend
Who has a Hardbar/AP from caliper bracket I can borrow this weekend?

I race Saturday and Sunday, but I have a caliper bracket with a stripped bolt hole.

There are no new ones available in SoCal.


Thanks,


Oli

Maybe a timesert would work?
Porsche guys have bee using them for a while on cylinder heads because of the increased strength compared to helicoils...

fastenal sells something similar called keyserts

I think the only place to buy timeserts is online or a specialty store.
