Message: [QUOTE="ats666, post: 1310637, member: 77201"] Well I have a 79 yz250 and I bought a 87ish yz250 for $50 (topend and bottom end were fubar) I am wanting to swap the front tire, brakes, forks and tripple clamps. The bike also came with front forks that have supposedly been revalved recently so those are the ones I am wanting to use. The ones on the 87 bike are bent, leaking, etc. Everything swapped in perfectly except that the left front fork does not have threads in it for the axle bolt. I guess my question is how is an axle bolt held in on this style of forks? The right fork has the pinch bolt like my origonal one did. Hopefully this makes sense, Thanx I can use a heli-coil kit but thats $145 [/QUOTE]
