does the helicoil kit say use epoxy ?it isn't needed as long as the fit, she tightNj732port said:so I skipped half of this response... the having someone show me how to do it part... I did not use any locktite or epoxy to secure the helicoil so I might go back in and redo that part.................................................................... as far the routing, I have no idea but I don't think that would limit the inner cable length.... too many little things getting f'd up! ill post some pics of the PO's helicoil job that I found (I think I made the same mistake not using an epoxy :)
i have used some wicking grade loctite ,on a helicoil in a left front wikkerbill,its green the whicking grade and just sucks right in the threads its called capachino action what makes a fluid of green whicking grade loctite move on over to fill avoids,had to pull a wedge ,it works so good
