the helicoil tool can fix any stripped hole on the chassis or top plate . In my experience if using MR-03 style front suspension it is essential to helicoil the two front clip holding holes on the chassis and use machined screws for a positively tightened screw...even a partially stripped hole which happens with less than 10 front clip swaps for different bodies ( coarse screws + soft plastic) in that area causes uneven front spring tension from right to left making the car never handle at its best.
Munger,
I just have to say thanks for the tip on using Helicoils. The postman dropped off the kit on Saturday and I installed a couple this morning in the one chassis that was getting to the point of being close to unusable and they worked perfectly.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Jim
