Bolt Pitch

Sorry I missed the fact you had already been upsized to a 14x2.00 bolt.

You can stick with the 14x1.5 in the Condor kit by installing a Helicoil.

14x1.50 kit here:https://www.rivetsonline.com/thread-...14-15/rc-37148
I'd stick with the Recoil brand as the Helicoil kit same size is $263.00 VS $102.00

Yes, that's an excellent alternative. Helicoil or similar inserts are often stronger than equivalent threading - particularly in aluminum. Galling due to dissimilar metals is also eliminated. I've used Recoil inserts, though none that large.

I will note the M14x1.5 bolt supplied in the kit is almost fully-threaded, however, so perhaps not the best fastener for the application.

Good point Brian. Regardless the weak point on a all-thread and partial thread still will be the threads as they are exposed at the diff bolt hole entry point.

Another alternative is: Since the bolt hole on the Diff is a through and through a nut and washer can be placed on the back side.

Chase the hole to allow a 14mm bolt to be a slip fit.

Sold here in 14x1.5 and 14X2.0 (the 220mm is 8.6" long for example, plenty long enough)

Have to measure what you need once the diff is remounted.
