[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 195996, member: 3972"] They are m6x1. Same as the case screws, etc. It DOES look like a helicoil will work fine. The sealing hole is just under 8mm. The OD of the tap for MY helicoil set is 7.3mm...so it clears the sealing hole. As best I can tell, you will need a helicoil insert that is 9mm long or less. when installed. MY kit, came with 9mm inserts. I think it should be no problem. I would probably drill with a drill press. Then be cautious to run my tap in straight. I wouldn't be afraid to do it myself tho. Always use plenty of oil when tapping aluminum. And drill with high speed and light pressure...and most importantly, sharp tools.
