BUYER’S GUIDE 03/2015 THREAD REPAIR SOLUTIONS FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document serves as a buyer's guide for thread repair solutions in the automotive aftermarket, specifically focusing on ProThread Wire Thread Inserts and associated repair kits. These inserts are engineered to provide robust internal threads that withstand temperature and corrosion.

Specifications and Features
ProThread Wire Thread Inserts are crafted from high-quality chromium nickel stainless steel, ensuring superior thread performance. They are lightweight, cost-effective, and can be integrated into existing designs without prior modifications. The inserts prevent thread failures due to stripping, seizing, corrosion, and wear, and are made from austenitic stainless steel wire with a tensile strength exceeding 200,000 psi and a hardness of Rc43-50.

Benefits
The inserts enhance load-bearing capacity by evenly distributing residual stress, unlike conventional tapped holes. They eliminate stress in the parent material and offer excellent wear resistance, making them suitable for applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly.

Product Range
The guide outlines various ProThread repair kits, including Clam Shell, Kit Box, and Workshop Range Kits, along with replacement inserts and installation tools.

Terms and Conditions
Effective March 2015, the terms cover pricing, freight, payment, damage and defects handling, warranty, credit information, retention of title, and returns policy. Prices exclude GST and are subject to change. Orders over $250 qualify for free freight, and complaints must be reported within 10 working days of delivery.

Installation Recommendations
For repairing spark plug threads, it is advised to remove the head to prevent engine debris. STI Pilot Nose Taps are recommended for repairing damaged threads without a pilot hole.

Disclaimer
Bordo International Pty Ltd disclaims liability for any loss or damage resulting from the use of the information or products mentioned in the guide.
Assembly Procedure
Insert the assembly into the spark plug port until fully seated, then remove the spark plug.

Applications
This procedure applies to taper and gasket seat spark plug ports.

Important Note
Ensure no foreign material enters the combustion chamber. It is recommended to remove the head from the engine before repair.
