[Closed] Glasgow bike shop for a helicoil?

Managed to thump the Boxxers at Dunkeld at the weekend, stripping the thread for the foot nut. Hoping it can be helicoiled rather than a new spring stack @£50+.

Any recommendations?

I would try the motorbike shops first..... Never found a bike shop willing to do a helicoil.

Rockthreegozy, you can buy a Helicoil kit on tinterweb for about £20.

Pal just got one for a stripped brake mount.

We are to the south of glasgow and no doubt could help out apart from the fact he is flying to Jamaica for two weeks in the morning.

Maybe try Wheelcraft in Campsie Glen(01360312709) as big Alisdair has all kinds of stuff in his shop.
