Do I have the wrong bracket for my BMW? Is there another bracket that I can use to use all the bolts? Answer - The example video may not be the exact same kit or application. In the 1090 kit, there are 3 bolts included and the line-up bushing. Only two bolts are necessary to be used in the plate along with the line-up bushing. The alignment fixture can also be flipped over if needed to line-up with the hole being worked on. There is another alignment fixture available for BMW's that can be purchased separately, but the smaller one that's included in the kit is all that's really needed. If you work on BMW's frequently and would like the larger alignment bracket see the following listing - B115000. Unless you work on BMW's all the time or have a series of holes stripped that would make using the smaller alignment plate difficult, it's our opinion that purchasing the larger bracket would not be feasible. If the Baum plate is purchased, the smaller 1015 metric kit can be purchased along with the 10155 inserts sold individually. Question – How are the inserts held in? Answer – The inserts are held in with permanent Loctite #266 which is included in the kit. They are also held in from the bottom when the installation driver cold rolls and expands the insert at the bottom, locking it into place. Question – Will the Time Sert 1090 work if I had a previous Heli Coil repair fail? Answer – No. An oversized repair will be needed, it’s called the Time Sert 1090BS. The BS stands for Big Sert and that is Time Sert’s designation for OVERSIZE. Question – Does the engine have to come out to do this repair? Answer – No. The repair is done right in the vehicle, so there’s no need to remove the block. If your mechanic has suggested removing the block and sending to a machine shop, please give them our phone number and we’ll be happy to talk with them about our kit (800-734-8664).
