i ordered the time-sert kit. am i going to need a drill press?

 

No, you can do it with a regular drill. It HAS to drill in absolutely straight though!

 

Where can I order this time-sert kit? Details please.

My GT3 is still brand new... should I wait until my bolt/threads fail?

 

i just googled time-serts to find, it led me to distributers and i got thru fastenal

 

and also wanted to mention its a good thing the only other time my calipers will have to come off is when i need new rotors. my brembos are 2-pc so i just need to knock out 2 pins to change pads. only reason i had them off is cuz a brake line busted and i decided to install brake duct nozzles. i guess i should look for a therapist, something has to pull me away from resorting to my impact whenever i get frustrated or lazy.

 

thanks for help i will use a drill press, my friend works for boeing so at least he knows what he's doing, he's the one who will do this

 

the time serts worked well

 

Chalk up another one to the "Oops I've done that too" category.

I over torqued caliper bolts on an old S2000; breaking them off into the caliper. I had to core-drill the bolts, bolt extractor, some damage, and fortunately was able to retap it without issue.
