Bolts are stripped out on my sissy bar.

[IEFVet]

Lookin to see if anyone has an idea on where to get a sissy bar. I have a 12" and one of the holes is stripped. Thought maybe it coulda be helicoiled but was told no. Got a 06 K9 with the struts.

Why can't you repair it?

I would take it to a machine shop and have them fill the stripped hole and re-tap it. A lot less $$ than a new bar...

My thoughts exactly or just run the next size tap and see what happens.

I have tapped a hole that was stripped with a metric tap without having to redrill the hole.

Fill it with JB Weld Instant Steel and then re-tap it.
I had a strut bolt I did that I did that to when it ended up elongated.

JB weld if mixed right will seal a crack in a engine block, this stuff is amazing, But you have to give it time to set up. good luck.

I'll take it off your hands if you decide not to fix and replace it.

Cut a 1/2 or 3/4" off and redrill and tap

Don't forget to paint the cut part with at least some primer. Would hate to see rust running down your fender. Common sense, worth more than gold.

This is the correct fix.
