Airbox repair

[Mick Milakovic]

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.

Thanks, Max.  That sounds like a workable solution.  Mick
