Spectrum SX Locking Nut
The thread on the central hole of my locking nut is almost stripped, I can only just get the screw to hold when I tighten the clamping plates. The thread on the screw is fine, so it is the thread on the locking nut body itself that is the problem.
I know spares are difficult to get hold of. Has anyone ever managed to repair the thread on a locking nut? I could try re-tapping it but I'm not sure there is enough material there to form the M4 thread.
Thanks,
B

Hi Brian and welcome.
There's a couple threads here showing exactly how to insert heli-coils, can't post em just now as I'm on a mobile 📱
Search in the technical forum.
I've done this myself easily, and if I can do it anyone can!

Corsair,
Thanks for the offer, but I'm in Scotland. I know the kits are available for about £20 online, I'll get one ordered after the holidays.

Re: Spectrum SX Locking Nut
As it turns out I've just stripped out the threads on my X300cr (ebay listed with 1 day left!!) during its pre postage setup, so I have to get out my heli coil kit and go at it, Brian if you want I can send up the kit when I'm done, just send it back when you're done? It'll save you £20 ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

If this was a one-off I would suggest that the Christmas spirit is in the air....but goodwill gestures like this happen week-in week-out on this forum.
