Dont cut corners on the brakes. It's not worth it.
BJH :frown:
A buddy has stripped out the threads on a brake caliper. It's a flare fitting so I don't see how we can put a heli-coil in there properly.
Is there a way to fix this thread without buying a new caliper? A new caliper is $450 so we could pay a couple of hours labor to a machine shop and still come out sweet.
Any ideas?

Depending on the vehicle he should be able to pick up an aftermarket caliper for a hell of alot less than 450 smacks.
Try Napa.
I assume the "flare fitting" you are talking about is what's called an inverted flare. Typically has a double flared tube, and the mating flare is a female. One option is to drill and tap for a 1/8" npt (do Canadians use SAE? I don't know), and get a NPT to inverted flare adapter. Simple.......
I wouldn't **** around w/ brakes like that.
That adapter is hardly Fing around. Racing calipers were made this way for years.
Thanks, guys.
Try Napa.
I think they only have those in the south.
