Default Front Hub woes :(

Quick quezzie?

Is there a recognised Helicoil Kit for a Front Hub thread repair?

Or is it as I suspect a new item?

had a wheel stud that refused to torque up @ Spa in October

removed the stud to find the hub thread still on the end of the stud

just wanted advice on whether a heli-coil repair would be up to it.

Helicoil should be more than up to it, if done well it will be more durable than the original thread.
