Bobbin repair

Instead of using the relatively expensive coil inserts, like Helicoil, etc., I use stainless weld nuts. They come in different shapes and sizes and are glued in place with a strong adhesive. These are also great if you want to add a long lasting thread, i.e. for brackets or relais, etc. in the engine bay.
