DATA, mcmaster is really fast. i ordered the stuff last night and it was here today.
unfortunatly, the helicoils are too big in diameter for the 3 mm bolts. i dont know if they packed the wrong ones or if they shrink, or if they take a larger bolt. the ones i ordered i thought were supposed to taka an m3 x .50 screw but it is way loose in it. it is closer to like a 5-40 size helicoil. aargh. very frusterating. what should i do? by the way, i am trying to fix an ns3 i got from a buddy in exchange for my starterbox that i loaned him and got stolen from the fuel nats in san jose. if anyone was there and knows anything about somone ending up with a nice new xtm starter box, let me know. i would like to get it back if it was left there on accident
