Thread gone on 200t av mount

Anybody know the best fix for this other than replacing the whole part?

Mine went a while ago. If you clean the threads up and degrease them ( I used lighter gas squirted into the thread hole to degrease) then press either some araldite or liquid metal into the hole the carefully push in the av mount with a slight twist action to spread the stuff into the thread and leave 24 hours to set. It fixed mine

You have three AV mounts on the MS200, I know you know which one has gone but sharing would be nice:sneaky2::lol:

Ah sorry, it's the one at the bottom of the handle nearest the oil filler.

Unfortunately it is a blind hole and not that deep but you should, with care, be able to put a helicoil in it. If that fails, try an insert.

 

If you drill too far, it will go straight in to the oil tank so go carefully!
