Re: Mirror Screw holes

Is the weldnut thick enough to do a heli-coil?

I used nutserts to install a passenger side mirror, perhaps you could drill it out and use a nutsert, however you'd likely have to remove all of the old weldnut as a nutsert needs relatively thin metal to attach.

A stop-gap measure can be slipping some wire in between the threads to take up some of the thread gap.
