Another vote for Helicoils. The bolts are standard M8

I asked him about one but he didn't seem keen to supply one if the rocklobster is already fitted

Its a little way off as we have a lot going on already, but we are looking in to a couple of solutions for the crappy sj lack of t-case mounting bolts... We are planning to do brackets with more fixing points to support and brace the whole casing.

Our skid plates are also pretty much ready to launch which will ake an awesome bomb proof combo without relying on the bushes when the box/bucket takes a hit...

We have come across this a few times too.

Before going for helicoils check the casing isn't cracked otherwise the inserts will not stay in.

If its ok then I'll say helicoils too. Properly fitted they give a stronger thread than standard.

We buy our kits from ebay as they are usually cheaper!
