Helicoil

Not sure where I should have posted this.

I am trying to find a source for a thread repair kit in a very small size. #12 screw by 28 thread pitch. Trying to repair a Barry Grant carb and they say Helicoil makes it but I cannot find it.

Anyone know of a source? Any manufacturer would do as long as it works in aluminum.

I took a quick look in my catalogues and I can't find #12-28 for either HeliCoil or McMaster-Carr. Could you substitute #12-24 (UNC) maybe?

I'm afraid it has to be a 28. Guess I'll have to send the old Demon back the Barry Grant for the repair.

Tracks,
I used to work on Jap dirt bikes quite some time ago. I used a product called, "Safety-Serts". They are actually not a coil product but more of a threaded insert. i will hunt around and see if i can find a source.
