Tapping threads in 15" DC Audio XL - Advice Needed!!!!


Recommended Posts

yes pics please

I dont think pics will help, the bolts are not broken off in the magnet, the bolts were ripped out of the magnet and are still in the basket, There was no support under the magnet, so if it was dropped from 6 feet, the basket had something to support it but the magnet had nothing to slow it down or stop it so gravity just kept pulling it and the bolts were not strong enough to stop it :(

Now The bolts shouldnt go all the way through right? I alredy made the mistake of leaving the motor sit in my room with out taping it up so i cleaned the dust out, but i def dont want metal shavings in there, I think that link I posted with the helicoil type kit will work best.

Dude..I told you what to do.

Why won't you listen?

Get an easy out. Follow the directions. It will save you a lot of time and money.

Dude pull your head out of your butt it's easier to listen. If you still have questions or are having a hard time listening clean out the crap in your ears!

NDMstang65 has given you the correct solution! If you fail to listen your sure to be doomed.

THE BOLTS ARE NOT BROKEN OFF, THE THREADS ARE STRIPPED IN THE MOTOR The bolts are fine!!! I need a helicoil type device, or I need to tap the female part (threads) to the next size up so the bolts will thread into them!!! How are you gonna tell me to pull my head out my ass when you didnt read the thread???

NDM and soapbox, you guys obviously need glasses or to clean out your eyes, or else just go back to first grade and learn to read? :clapping:

Then run an M6 bottom tap down it to straighten the threads up dude.

...You can put some loctite bearing mount on the threads of the new bolts and literally stick them in the holes and glue the basket on the motor and it is never going to come off. Those Chinese thread depths are a joke anyhow and are tapped very light.

You just basically answered your own question with that all caps post. You will need to thread the holes...when you say the bolts are stripped people tend to think you mean they're stuck in their holes and the heads are stripped. So how about you give more information and be more specific the next time you fucking post. :peepwall:
