Hey Aaron,

<snip> I don't care too much for heli-coils<snip>

I don't know why you don't care for them, because they are as strong or
stronger than the original threads. I used them
extensively as a machinist to repair threaded holes in cannon components for
the U.S. Army. Breech rings and cannon tubes undergo a lot more stess than
the brake components in our DAKS & I've never seen one fail...& that's 23
years in the industry...
I repaired my lower support arm with a helicoil kit after my ProComp shock
bolt fiasco...got 40 K on the helicoil...no probs...
