HeliCoil After Market Thread Repair Kits are available in economy packs with all
basic tools required to perform a thread repair. Each kit has a finishing tap,
installation tool , a good quantity of inserts , tang breaking pin and complete
instructions. These kits are available in metric range from M3 to M20 and in

Looks like the kit has everything you need, including correct size tap. Once
the hole is drilled you tap the new threads and insert the Heli-Coil insert in
the size that you need.
