Sulzer 12LDA28C Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hi: in removing the cylinder head for recent repairs it looks as though the nuts the hold on the front K&N air filter chrome outer cover were not tight and it has fallen off and disapperared. The engine is fitted with two 45DCOE weber carbs and the oblong with tounded corners cover measures 18 cm x 12 cm. Anyone got a spare or one though wish to sell please?

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 Someone recently posted that they got spares direct from K&N i drilled and wire locked the retaining nuts years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 That'll do it Pete but in 20+ years using shake proof washers I've never had a K &N securing nut come loose. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I was prompted to drill the nuts for locking wire as I used to sell a lot of K&N securing nuts, that was in my time at Cox & Buckles retail. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I wonder what Moss charges for these nuts now, or even if they are available from that source. FWIW 5mm domed nuts in A2 stainless steel from Tool Station (Item # 94881) for the princely sum of £1.28 for a packet of ten are perfect for the job and would provide plenty of spares! I needed a replacement when I once carelessly stripped the thread in an original. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sulzer 12LDA28C Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have ordered the chrome outer casing and nuts from J D Motorsport on 01372 361640 or email mjd128@outlook.com Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
