Fuel pump stand stripped threads
Open for discussion/comment:
Found out one of the mounting bolts on my fuel pump stand are stripped. Not much luck so far finding a new stand so far. So thinking a "Heli-Coil" might suffice. Opinions? |

The Heli-coil works fine. Do it.

Take the stand to a local machine shop and they will have the stuff in stock.

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
We’ve repaired a few with the helicoil method.....should work fine for you. Before you invest in the thread repair, check the base for flatness. They’re often warped and rough.

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
I was going to mention about the flatness, but Mac VP mentioned it. I had one you could slide a dime under it laying flat.
Depending on yr. When installing. It's gasket, then baffle, then pump. If you do baffle then gasket you can bend the ears. |

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
As another option, You may also be able to drill deeper and tap a longer thread and use a longer bolt ,

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
Had the same problem so I drilled the old threads out and tapped the hole to a larger size maybe 1/4", I don't remember for sure, then made a inside- outside threaded bushing from a steel bolt and threaded it in held by locktite. Works great and not much danger of stripping it out as the steel is tougher than the original casting.

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
Are good FP stands that hard to find now days? I must have 8 or 10 of them most35 - 40s, different years.32 replacement (stock ones bolted directly to the manifold), 33 and 34 are probably harder to find though.

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
I would try JB Weld first.

Re: Fuel pump stand stripped threads
I worked as a machinist in a engine rebuild shop for many years and Time-Serts were used to fix cylinder heads, and motor blocks when the internal threads were stripped. That is what is considered to be the professional way to make a repair.
