I'll have to read up and familiarize myself with the Time Sert option. Thought about welding a nut on the backside of fender but shoulder nut thread not longer enough to reach. I need to get it back to being a M8 thread if possible.Options I see:
1) cut the nut off the fender and weld a new one on. This will likely damage the chrome.
2) take the fender to a machine shop to have install a Time Sert, not a Heli Coil.
3) get another fender.

What I would do is weld over the old worn threaded nut, and then drill and tap a new thread. Again, this is a more expensive machine shop option (if you don't have or can borrow the equipment) but it does give you the satisfaction of having the fender restored to approximate original condition.
Oh, and grab a new rear tire whilst your wallet's out!!:lol:
You never heard of boot polish? :lol:
