andrewLL 30 #2 Posted yesterday at 12:33 AM Nice fix, but I’m sure the other two screws would be sufficient to hold the air filter housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill 633 915 #3 Posted yesterday at 09:47 AM I like to use E-Z Lok solid wall thread inserts. They come in standard and thin wall. To use the standard wall, you drill and tap and install. To use the thin wall, you drill and tap and then use a slightly bigger drill to remove the peaks of the internal threads, then install. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
