Helicoil expert/Southampton

[monkeyboy]

Please can anyone recommend someone who might be good at helicoils in the Southampton area please? It would have to be done on the bike and it's big! I took off the top yolk to change the bearing cos it felt loose - looks like the thread into the headstock is buggered Quite impressive really!

They do? Well it is into aluminium I guess. What is a fixing kit? Is it a helicoil? I'll try almost anything but getting a bugger off drill into that hole scares the poo out of me. I don't really want to have to take the frame off and i'm scared of drilling at the wrong angle or something

Thanks
