Track-focused Threading with the 3Racing ST-026/M3L

The 3Racing ST-026/M3L is an anti-clockwise M3 x 0.5 tap engineered for accurate left-hand thread formation in race parts and tunable components. Its design supports repeatable thread cutting so setup changes and quick repairs maintain consistent fastener engagement. Use precise, controlled feeds to protect small brackets and aluminium accessories.

Setup and Tuning Applications

Competitive builders value repeatability and fit. The 3Racing ST-026/M3L helps produce clean threads that support consistent clamping force and predictable part behaviour under load. Employ careful technique and frequent chip clearance when tapping thin or lightweight components.

Is this tap appropriate for on-car repairs at the track?

Yes. Its compact profile and left-hand cut make it suitable for quick thread repairs on chassis parts and accessory mounts, provided you work carefully and clear debris regularly.

Any tips for maintaining alignment during tapping?

Use a guide or jig to keep the tap square to the hole. Start with short, controlled turns and back off frequently to remove chips and check the thread.

How can I avoid weakening a lightweight component when tapping?

Minimise material removal by using the correct pilot hole and by tapping gently. For very thin parts consider reinforcing or using a threaded insert instead of oversized tapping.
