  • Use anti-seize substances to help avoid cross-threading the bolt. Use your fingers to wiggle the bolt as you drive it into the hole, this help align the threads and make for a smooth installation.
  • Threaded holes in new parts could be defective due to worn out tapping tools, re-tapping might be necessary.
  • If the finished part shows thread call out mistakes in a drawing could be fixed by installing a threaded insert. Make sure to correct the drawing to avoid repeating the mistake later on.
  • Chrislynn Inserts has an adequate line of Helicoil products including those with breakable tabs for Delrin.
  • Dodge Helicoil has a large variety of helicoil insert products.
  • To prevent loosening due to vibration use thread-locking substances such as Loctite® 242 (Medium), 262, 271 (High), etc.
