There used to be a rebore/regrind place behind the Caversham Laundry - M & J
Pistons, I think. Anyone know where it's gone since Caversham Laundry did the
Phoenix bit ??

| Rather than the fuss of re-threading, what about a copper washer -
sufficiently broad to tighten the sump plug to.

| really Mark !
A helicoil is a thread insert that enables a stripped thread to be
inexpensively brought back to life.
It is a cheaper option than boring out the old thread and tapping a new
(larger) one in.
It should not really be used where pressure will be brought to bear on the new
"thread" i.e. spark plugs.

| M & J are still there. Just over the Reading Bridge on the Caversham
side opposite a petrol station, and set about 50 yards back from the
main road.

I wouldn't suggest extra copper washers as you've obviously only a few
threads left... If too many spacers are added the urge to over tighten
will be even greater than before, and in the end it will simply strip
bolt and hole threads.
Helicoil inserts can be bought from Edmunds-Walker. They're in the
first block of industrial units at the back of Portman Road. See also
Yellow Pages.
