Does anyone know the size and TPI of the transmission drain bolt in a '70 Tiger gearbox? The threads in the gearbox are
stripped and I need to think of a solution: TimeSert or oversized bolt.
 
Please describe. Lay bike on it's side? TimeSert? Alignment issues?

It was a long time ago… done in a dusty conrecete garage with very few tools and certainly nothing fancy!

Can‘t recall if I laid the bike over but it makes sense, I used a helicoil, the newer inserts would make the job far easier I think. Didn’t have any alignment problems, must have taken my time, which was unusual back then !
