Air Box Repair 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Kerry on  Sat Dec 1 10:05 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Well, I finally repaired my air box after the last OEM latch broke off. The repair worked great! (I just couldn't bring myself to use a huge wire tie)

I used 4 latches. I should have ordered 5 or 6. The parts I used were ordered from McMaster Carr. They have an excellant on-line catalog. I used:

2-7/16" LG x 7/8" WD, 27/32 PROJ - 300 Series Stainless Steel Draw Latch

I used rivets with a backing of glue to mount them. The clearance is fine once the air box is installed. I recommend this repair to anyone who has a bunch of busted latches. When I get my photos back I'll post them.
