I have seat belt mounts that have stripped threads. I'm wonding if HeliCoil's are strong enough in case of an accident. Logic tells me, yes they would be fine if installed correctly, but my gut is a little more nervous than my head. Can anyone tip the scales one way or the other for me?

boy, that's going to be a tough fix. even over-tapping might not be great unless you can ensure some good threads.
but i would not personally strap into a heli-coiled belt ancor, and i'd sure as hell not put a loved one in that seat. |
