Title: Airbox repair
Post by: Mick Milakovic on October 16, 2002, 08:51:22 AM

I have a '73 Jackpiner in need of an airbox repair. One of the backing nuts that are imbedded into the box holding on the cover has been lost. I know I'll have to lay in new fiberglass around the nut, but is it a special nut? Maybe with some kind of spines to hold the fiberglass better?

Weld a 6mm nut to a washer with holes around the outside of the nut then fiberglass in place MAX.
