Knackered thread - engineers in Basildon?
I've gone and messed up a thread in my clutch slave cylinder, thinks it's an M10x1, does anyone know where would be able to re-tap this in
Basildon or surrounding area?
One setback after another...
Thanks
Nick

i can weld ali and have an m10 x1 tap if you get desperate. may be easier to go onto the omega forum and ask if anyone has a dead cylinder and swap
the housings over.

Any local machine shop/engineers will re-tap.
