    It's torqued pretty close to spec.im not sure if my torque wrench is possibily over by a few pounds so i went a little lighter,110 vs 123. . Helicoils I used seemed kinda jankie . The metal used for the threads is pretty soft and there's not really a good way to use regular bolts . So a mount or a reinforcement with access to the bolts would be stronger.

    The Helicoil threads are stronger than the original. You're fine.
