I had the same problem with my 1200 Sports.
Rather than risk buggering up the hole, I did a quick Google search and found a small local engineering firm that did bespoke jobs.
Gave it to them. £30 for a drill out and helicoil.
It is always going to be risky if you use a hand-drill.

I will getting my type 4 kit very soon.
A quick question .......
How many people does in take to lift the chassis onto trestles?
Then, how many to lift the rolling chassis, minus the engine, off the trestles onto the floor?
Im guessing it should be ok for 4 men to do the lifting. Thanks.

Hi again, You'll be pleased to hear that I have managed to get the caps off the plastic pipe without any damage to the barbs. I wrapped the heads in Al foil then heated them up very carefully with a small kitchen blowtorch until soft and the plastic pipe just fell off! Ill replace the tee with a met...

That's great thanks.

T4 with 1200 sport 2V

Has anybody made up new fuel lines to the injectors, I have a 1200 sport 2V engine ? The stiff plastic lines are bent to suit the fuel tank. I'd be interested to see what anybody else has done to their fuel supply lines. The ideal would be lines to the injector, a tee piece and straight back for the...

Sometimes you just have to have the courage of your covictions.
Ive drilled the holes M6 to a depth of 13mm. No problem.
A couple of titanium exhaust studs will fit nicely with a bit of studlocker.
Hope this helps anybody who had thought of the same thing.

Has anybody drilled into these two lugs on top of the 1200 sport 2V engine. Located between the cylinders towards the back. They appear to be solid in construction. They would be ideal for fitting a bracket. I was thinking drill and tap to M6 to 10 mm depth. Fit studs with green loctite. Check out t...

I was checking out a previous post regarding panel fasteners. So many choices but I always think simplest is best. After much searching I came across these quick release fasteners. They look good and are quick release. Above all they are simple. Here's a link ..... https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/pi...

Thanks for the quick response. I have just put the deposit down on a Type 4 and am busy doing some maintenance/servicing on my Guzzi 1200 Sport 2V engine, brakes, rear end, etc. Just checking out a few things as I go along so that I should have a lot of the small bits in place before the build begin...
