Helicoil application?

[Phil Payne]

> The threads for the pressure line for the power steering pump have 
stripped, and I was wondering if a helicoil would hold up to the pressure 
of the system.

Properly done helicoils are stronger than the original threads.

I'd suggest a blob of Blu-Tack in the bottom of the hole to catch swarf 
from the drilling and tapping - you don't want that stuff in the pump.
