Revo intake pipe bolt thread finally given up holding.

[ZiggyEP3]

The Revo Intake pipe I have has finally undone the bolt the holds it too many times and now the thread will not hold a bolt. The pipe now sits loose and I have no way of bolting it to the engine. Can they be rethreaded and if so how the can it be secured so it doesn't come undone again. I've tried threadlocks both liquids and plastic etc but nothing holds. Surely im not the only one tokeep having this problem

Thanks I might get a couple of large jubilee clips for now at try and strap it to the engine for now with a bit of rubber so it does not scratch the intake pipe.

The holder that I send you it have a rubber around the collar and it keeps the manifold with a screw down from battery tray you have a hole there for a screw! Give it a try! It keeps mine stable!!

Lock tight the bolt it won’t come loose again.

The thread in the pipe has gone so the bolt cant bite hard anymore so giving up on the bolt holding anything.

Tap and die kit? Make a new thread and like 300 said use blue loctite to keep it on. Mine didn't come with a spring washer and the bolt came off I lost the spacer but bolted it directly to the engine with blue loctite and has held sweet since even without a spacer.

If it is a blind hole you will need a plug tap
