You guys might know what this is about. I just bought my first TLS and was trying to do some brakes and as everyone know the threads took a shit. I got away with re threading and slapping them back on and their was no play or such, and my question is, is there any caliper upgrade? so I don’t have to go through this again, or do I have to get a timsert for a permanent fix and never have to worry about threads stripping

 

The Brembo's ARE the upgrade

Don't think any less of them simply because they're 20 years old, and most likely never been properly maintained.

Time-sert or helicoil and never worry about it again.

 

All of this^^^

 

What bit and helicoil size should I use?

 

M14x1.5mm, with a 9/16" bit.
