Title: Wanted - Airbox screws in good condition
Post by: VXL V6 on 18 September 2016, 22:47:48
Having failed to find anything equivalent in the DIY stores does anyone have any good condition ones floating around?

Had to cut slots in the ones on the project and unscrew them with a flat screwdriver.

Early airboxes had clips, could try find one.

How long are the screws? Been many a year since I had to undo a FL airbox. Might have an idea, but suspect what I have in mind will be too short.. :-\

As above, PFL/MFL used clips, much better idea. However, I might be able to acquire some from Le Yard au Scrap soon...

Personally I would try a find some replacement Phillips type etc, the torx ones are rubbish and rust like crazy.

I did find some nice Stainless Steel replacements a few years back, it was worth the wait.

Have to say I have replaced my exhaust nuts/bolts, caliper banjo and the brake backplate screws with stainless, with obvious beneficial results. Trying to find the bleeders, though. When I had access to a decent EPC that tends to document the thread and length of the screws/nuts bolts, which is a godsend for hunting out replacement parts, however, that website I used to use has closed down, now sadly.

Got some here that are slightly rusty but perfectly useable, I'm waiting for Anhialator to arrive but he's running late so just give them a wire brush and a coat of satin black and they're looking pretty new, send me your address and i'll chuck them in the post
