Subject:Re: Helicoil protocol yet again.

Vanagoners,

I think I'm paranoid.  I sent a message yesterday regarding helicoil
installation and have yet to recieve a response.  This may be due to our
new mail system or lack of interest in the subject.  If the message did not
get out yeesterday what I need is the protocol that was once on the website
for installation.  If it is still there I need to get to it some how;  if
it is not there then could someome forward it to me.
Thanks

John--

I saw your message, yesterday, but I was not sure what you meant by
"protocol", so I did nothing. Here are my guesses:

If, by "protocol", you mean "instructions", HeliCoil inserts (if I recall
correctly) come with an exhaustive instruction sheet.

If by "protocol", you mean, "how do I choose the right size?" again, the
HeliCoil display has an exhaustive chart/reference guide. If it still is
not clear, the place that sells them (machine shops, etc.) usually have a
helpful Joe (or Jo) to help.

If by "protocol", you mean "customs, clothing, and regulations to do with a
ceremony or activity", I usually wear military surplus green coveralls,
safety goggles, and an old ball cap. I start on most tasks on a Saturday
morning. I lay out my tools, a few clean rags, and a large plastic cup of
Kool-Aid. I turn on the radio, and (if it is cold out) the heater in the
workshop. If the job takes awhile, my wife will usually make a sandwich, to
keep me from coming in the house while I am grimy. When I am finished, I
clean everything up, and turn off the light. :)

Hope this helps.
