stripped glow plug threads, Lee Custom Engines.

I will need this service for a Saito head. According to his ad in Mode

Airplane News the cost is $20 for a Saito head/cylinder which i stripped down. I will pay the shipping one way but does Mr. Lee pay th return charge? I have not been able to find another heli coil repair se anywhere except for Lee custom engines. does anyone know of a source fo heli coils in a 1/4 x 32 threads size? I have a saito twin and expect t need another heli coil for the other cylinder some day. Appreciate any tips. A pm would be good. Crashe

You need 1/4-32 -- an odd size.

There is an art to grinding off the excess (or so I've heard).

It must be something internal to rcgroups.

I tried replying to him by e-mail, but it didn't work.

$90 to do it yourself or $20 to have someone who knows what they are doing do it for you.

I don't know for sure.
