Has anyone successfully recovered from stripping the threads from one of the fuel line connections on the bottom of the fuel tank?
The 22mm aluminum nut that’s closest to the tanks perimeter seam was very snug but still moving while I was removing it. Once off I could see that both the male steel threads and the aluminum nut were stripped (basically at the top of the steel male section - so the nut won’t start). I have an extra aluminum nut but it wasn’t making much headway towards recutting those top threads. Perhaps a die would recut them .. but then it is pretty close to that seam. Has anyone had to do this? Did a die work? What dimensions and pitch ? Thanks. . |
