    Very nice, couple of questions.

    1) What happens when you have a hole through a flange (no bottom), like the transmission, won't the helicoil keep turning? 
    2) Won't the helicoil back out when you remove the bolt next time?

    One answer to both questions....thread locker.  It stays put

    You could also stake the ends of the helicoil with a center punch. That keeps them from rotating out

    Until your tranny goes and needs to be replaced, I used studs before in the weak holes. Thread Lock them in and leave them in.
