Is the minimum thickness of the plate essential?

Question: I wish to repair an M16 thread in a 16mm thick steel plate. The Keensert instructions say the minimum plate thickness is 24.5mm. Is this minimum thickness essential Answer: The thickness is not relevant when you know that the force you are going to put on the system is not to it’s limits. Basically the minimum thickness is the distance you need to let the kees penetrate in the mother material. (the length of the kees = 7 mm) And you need some extra material as indicated with T to give a good support to the bolt. So I cannot say yes or no You’ll have to test it within your own application.
