-   3/8 inch 16 UNC thread
-   2.27 g
-   24 applications across TSK, DP and SX
-   Thread repair insert

## 🔌 Function

Provides a fresh, correctly sized thread in a casting, replacing a worn or stripped one.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Fastener spinning without reaching torque
-   Casting thread pulling out with the fastener
-   Insert rotating in its bore
-   Corrosion at the insert to casting interface

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Thread size is the deciding detail - 3/8 inch 16 UNC here against 5/16 inch 18 UNC as 3852513 and 7/16 inch 14 UNC as 3852541
-   This and 3852513 share the same published weight and the same 24 applications, so match the thread rather than the figures
