stussysoil Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Anybody know where I can get another one of these highlighted in the photo. 83mm spacing bolt on K&N air filter. I managed to knacker one, don't ask Quote
perksy Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 *IF* you can't find the proper one You could always make one up by using a piece of studding (M6 or whatever) and then using a piece of Tube to act as the spacer Quote
RichP Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Unbelievable! I did exactly the same thing today and need the same part. I temp fixed it with a long M5 bolt, but don't do it up too tight! I was expecting to have to replace the filter so will be interested to see where this goes! Eddited to add: have a spare extra bolt if you need one! Quote
stussysoil Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Hi Rich, I feel slightly less of a muppet now. Do you need a 83mm one? Quote
fatbaldbloke Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Ditto Perksy - stud and a piece of tube. Probably be able to source it in B&Q. Quote
Major Stare Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I might have one at home, will check tonight, yours if you PM me your address. Quote
a4gom Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 ditto the studding but instead of a piece of tube I've just used a couple extra nuts locked together to act as a stop when I've done it in the past. Quote
stussysoil Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Just for info for anybody who does the same thing, I have been onto K&N and they supply a pillar kit (containing 2x pillars) part number to order is 85-5014 and can be obtained through K&N retailers. (this is for 83mm pillars) Quote
pistonbroke Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 can you grind the end off then drill and tap ? Quote
stussysoil Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Hi Bernie, possibly however I have ordered some replacements now. First job in my new vice as well and managed to break something! Quote
pistonbroke Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Cack handed Yorkite Unless you emigrated there from lancashire in which case you have a faulty vice Quote
