Busted tangs off carb washer

Post by Tornado » Sun May 17, 2015 4:11 am

Hey guys,

After years of off and on, the spring washers tang that bend over the screws that hold the airbox tray to the carbs (NC35) have broken and there seems to be no replacements... What have you used in their place? The part is 15 on this link:

I'm pretty sure I must have a spare set for an NC30. Any use to you if I find them tomorrow?

Hey guys,
It's been a while since I checked in, and didn't expect to see any replies. I've currently loc-tited (blue) the screws down, but would prefer the washers withe the tangs for added safety. Dave I will drop you a PM... I really appreciate the offer!
