Nice! You should make up a bunch and sell them.

As suggested, I purchased a couple of internally threaded standoffs from Grainger, and had a friend turn them down so the outside diameter matched the original bolts (so they'd fit through the airbox holes and metal locating thingy inside the box).

A trip to home depot netted a neoprene washer, and chrome allen head bolt and washer, and put together, they look pretty good - I think the allen bolt is cleaner than the original wingnut approach.

i'd do the same, this is a very clever idea, who would buy a $14 nut???? not me!!!

thanks for posting this idea...this is what this forum is all about----->DIY, i love this forum.

You could do what Douglas says, but start with some threaded aluminum round standoffs. Grainger stocks a bunch of different lenghts in 1/4-20 thread.

I made the ones on my car.  Take a 1/2" diameter aluminum rod and cut to length.  Square off each end and tap each end 1/4-20.  Use permanent Loctite (680-green, or 271-red) to bond a bolt into one end.  Cut the head off the bolt so you are left with a threaded stud.  ut a large flat washer on the stud then apply more Loctite to the threads and screw a wingnut onto the stud.  You may have to enlarge the hole in the top of the air filter housing by a few thousandths of an inch so the 1/2" diameter rod will turn freely.

Anyone have two of the internal threaded "bolts" to attach the aircleaner to the (single) carb?

NLA from anywhere, but there have to be loads of them from folks that have gone to cone/sock filters, or Webers.

I need 2, and am located in Oregon at 97219.

Thanks!
