That will prolly work if not I have the one that came off my pony its got holes drilled in it to open it up some if you need it pay shipping and its yours.


Sounds great, I stirred some epoxy together tonight and glued it, if it holds, I'll use it; I'll let you know.

Mine has some holes drilled in it too.

Figgered out why the center bolt wouldn't screw back in...the plastic nut holder thingy has broken off and was what I could feel inside the housing.

How would you go about repairing that? I'm thinking of trying JBWeld or epoxy to re-secure the nut that is trapped in the plastic back to where it's supposed to be.

Another repair for it would be to put on a different sort of air cleaner, right? can you make suggestions? thanks

for now it seems to be holding, but I thought I heard the epoxy crack when I screwed that long screw in....so let me know how much shipping will be to 55904 and if you want it via paypal....
Thanks...mick

I overtightened mine a couple years ago and snapped the plastic right off. I used a 2-part epoxy to repair and it has held fine. However, with Rev. offering you another one for the cost of shipping, that's your best solution. Thumbs up to you, Rev. for helping a brother out.
