I’m just joking, you are doing a very good job. :-) Alan PS. If you bought those wheels and tyres for not much more than £50 you did very well indeed.

It looks like they aren't blind holes after all: ... which is good news, it is much easier to tap them and to snap off the end of the helicoils. So what is the problem?

Well because this is the case, my first drill and tap only went to a certain depth and wasn’t fully tapped (tap in the kit is one where the tap isn’t full for the first 1/4” This meant that all though my Helicoil went it, it was too tight for the bolt I removed the blind foul and tapped fully again and this time things went together better I also cleaned up the bolts with a matching M12 1.75 die Getting there now I also had to replace the passenger side calliper as 1 of the 4 pistons had seized JJ
