I fix these with Helicoils and made a jig to do the repair. It pilots the drill bit and the special Heli-coil tap. They can probably be done by hand if you are careful to get everything perpendicular to the bottom of the case. I probably have spare OE M6 studs if you need one. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
