1985 70, Spark plug helicoil kit

[slicknick1818]

I finally found an atc 70, got it home and found that the spark plug hole has been stripped, I have never used a helicoil before and I am looking for the right size and a quality kit. Any help is appreciated thanks253998

You can drill and tap it out to the next biggest size. I can't remember off hand what it is, but it's an odd size thread spec. M12 x 1.25 I think....I believe it uses a plug from an ATC 90 then. I'd have to do some research to verify those numbers.

I meant if you didn't want to helicoil it, you can drill the hole out and tap to a M12 x1.25. That's what I did on my 70. It's just hard to get a wrench in to tighten the plug now. But, the helicoil will hopefully provide just as good as fix.

I wonder if they have 'TIME SERT'. It is a thread repair. I have used them in the past and works great.

Just wanted to thank everyone for your help and input.
Does anyone know which red color rite paint matches atc's the best? I need it for my 1980 110, Thanks

Rustoleum gloss cherry red matches pretty close. It’s a bit brighter but looks damn good
