Good tip thanks for the reminder.
I’m in the habit of buying the longer inserts.
Having several uses, and since they are very easy to trim; I just keep the longer version on hand and trim as needed.
The local machine supply here has that one on the shelf.
1/4-32 threads are used often on various instruments.

Yes, I am familiar. We used them by the boxful.
The trimmed end is simple (for us) to re-shape.
Once installed they stay put and do not leak.
BTW, the eBay link was picked at random, mostly to show the street price. For the sake of helping the OP to choose between repair and replacement costs.
Again, thanks for pointing out that his application requires a different kit number.

Yes, that's the kit and inserts I've been using. Curious how you "reshape" the swaging area at the bottom of the insert once trimmed off, as the swaging dimensions are undercut......internally.

Yes Lonnie, that is as supplied.And it works .
As is often the case, there are other methods available, actually better methods in some cases.
Make a slight chamfer from the inside of the tapped hole. Counterbore a thin lip at the inner tip of the insert. Install otherwise normally using the Loctite sealant. Roll the thin lip into the chamfer. Comes out nicely every time and makes for a fine, measured fit.
We often have to do adapt for custom fitting as needed.
Part of the trade.
Do you use wheel collars with setscrews to keep your wheels in place?

LH threads on RH axle and RH threads on LH axle? Sounds about right 
“E” type circlips and Cotter Pins are a couple of favorites here. Cheap and they stay in place well

Gary, had I adopted either one of those wheel mounting methods on a pre-built P-47 ARF I bought from a fellow flyer, I wouldn't have had to belly land it on the maiden flight. He was very light handed while tightening the wheel collars. Lost a wheel seconds after lowering the gear. My bad, I should have checked all the hardware.

My home made grill looks more like this one.
A while back I showed this image of the grill I made for the Spadport, I got the idea from this British SE5. The grill hides an FA 40a.

Good tip!
Just got back from looking up an ad I placed , sold this one a few months ago.
That plane is looking sweet and your grill is a nice detail. Going to be getting a skin soon from what I hear. Looks like you have a lot to get done this winter
Sorry Dave, I didn’t realize you were looking for an FA-30. From now on I will mention here before listing a sale in the classifieds.
