Sad times.
I have my TF somewhat apart to put in a new master cylinder and I saw that
the lower bolts securing the bell housing to the engine/sump were missing.
I acquired a few from Abingdon and when I went to put them in place found
that the threads in the sump are no longer viable (read GONE).
Do I need to pull the sump to have threaded inserts put in the holes? Can I
use a helicoil (is one available for a Whitworth thread?)?
Any and all suggestions and information are welcome.
