Will installing thread inserts to replace stripped threads in cast aluminium suspension arms actually be strong enough to go rallying with? Well, first of all does torquing up the big bolts give us a nice click or another horrible bang? Edd China's Workshop Diaries 28: 2007 R56 BMW Mini Cooper S Suspension Upgrade Part 6 This week we try to fix the broken thread in the aluminum rear trailing arms using Time-Serts from Wurth with help from my mate Stephen at Langley Components (Maidenhead) but only time will tell if they survive Neil's rallying exploits. Neil and I also get to grips with replacing the standard rusty brake pipes and squishy rubber brake hoses with far more sporty stainless steel braided brake lines and I try out a new way to cut the hoses to stop the ends splaying too much. The long haired fop, James May also roasts one of my cars and I disagree, obviously!
