bilks Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) They should be 4 small allan headed bolts.which screw into brass captive inserts in the filter box Shocker bolt is 8 mm N/s with nut.O/s is a 6 mm allan bolt that also screws into a captive insert in the filter box.To remove the smaller ones if rounded or not unscrewing try drilling the heads of them,The 6 MM bolt,if not unscrewing you could try to drill and use stud extractor. Once you have airbox off you could drill out the captive studs and replace them with these.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STEEL-ALUMINIUM-STAINLESS-KNURLED-RUBBER-RIVNUTS-RIVET-NUTSERTS-RUBNUTS-/191666376866?var=490713276033&hash=item2ca034d0a2:m:m7-SCDt2yqNNdyih6WOWnJg Plenty of vids on youtube on how to install.without any special tools.

diesel2607 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I have the brackets off and new ones ordered I have ordered some of the insert from link above as drilled and prised the old inserts out what would be best to used to glue the new inserts into the plastic airbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
