I've had pretty good luck with the original Heli-Coil thread repair kits, though nearly all my use of them has been for automotive repair. I've used SAE (fine) thread, NC (coarse), Metric, BSP (British Straight Pipe) & a recent first was the installation of a 3/8 x 24 LEFTHAND insert to repair a "clutch retaining, 3rd bearing support combination starter nut" (no data yet on its longevity of repair...).
Re-Coil is another brand that's the same as Heli-Coil, and seem to be supplied more often than not when sourcing the (individual thread size) kits from either McMaster- Carr or MSC. While the packaging is different, the products and supplied tools (drill bit, tap, insertion tool and tang break-off tool when included) appear and function the same.
On an unrelated matter, Scott Kneisel, I'd like to ask you about some (McCulloch R200/F100) frame dimensions you may have. At a recent playdate in Bushnell, Florida, it was recommended that I contact you. I can go through any of the forum or Facebook PMs, or preferably, via email (mine is e randy forbes @ aol . com with NO SPACES). Thanks!
