I am looking for a Helicoil M5 x 0.9 to fix a loss of threads for one of the carburetor top bolt holes.
I can source M5 x 0.8 from many suppliers/manufacturers but not the 0.9 pitch.
Can any one tell me where I can obtain this elusive item?
Thank you.

cannot guarantee it but so far AAA Metric in Denver has been able to get anything metric I need.

Wondering if JB Weld would not work here. I've used it on some pretty major jobs over the years, and its drillable, and tappable. Just wondering?
