shift cable thread insert repair

[Bt Doctur]

developed this in 2019 and installed it in my boat, no issues so far For alpha1 and alpha gen ii housings
Here you go 39/64 drill bit ..6094 , 1/4 inch pipe coupling, 1/4 x 18 NPSF tap , Red Loc-Tite.
With 1 hex machined off, the O.D of the sleeve is .619 leaving a .010 press fit. Once installed tap it thru if preferred but only a 5/8ths depth is needed for the shift cable threads
If needed PM me if you want it done
The new coupling

After some machining

Installed

just did what needed to be done,heli-coils are too large and this was the best option for the repair.
locating that coupling in that size was the hardest. and i bought them all .sure beats buying a replacement housing.Also found out that the mercruiser low pressure pump is an exact replacement for the volvo one but at $38.00 works just fine
