stripped out
the threading stripped out where the hose connects to the front end of my fusion ap, has anyone installed a helicoil successfully? Any other options to fix? |

If you bought a backup gun, there should be a brand new one there. Otherwise just buy the Al block (or machine one from scratch). IMO it's not worth messing with a hydraulic fitting rated for up to 3,500 PSI. |

Are you refering to where the fitting screws into the manifold? Page 34 where 12e connects to 12a? Not alot of extra meat on the manifold for a helicoil. I don't think it is worth the risk to repair it. George |
