Hi Rich,
On the Marelli, I'd use a Heli-coil or other insert to repair the hole.
Cheers,

My starter was acting up so I disassembled, cleaned and replaced the brushes. While re-installing it, the threaded hole (on the starter) that bolts the starter to the block decided to strip out. What are my not too barbarian fixes? I have taps and dies. Have the hole welded and re-tapped? Fill the hole with JB weld and re-tap it? Have an insert put in? Tap it one size larger and get a bigger bolt? Search EPay for a good starter, or at least a body to swap out parts to? Buy a rebuilt one from one of our favorite dealers? Also has anyone found a source for the brass end bushings? Thanks, |
Charlie
