So my intake runner tubes no longer seal properly due to stripped wellnuts. Airbox pressurisation not happening, no funky Helmholtz resonator sounds I've tried ordering M6's, M4's.... none fit! What size are the furshlugginer nuts??
Only bolts that have anything to do with the air tubes are at the front where the nose cone bolts though them.
Ah, ok....so to clarify, I'm talking about the nuts that hold the circled screws in: Mine have stripped the rubber wellnut and no longer pull the two pieces in tight.... at least I think they're wellnuts?
nah mate either see if you could glue the screws in as a temp bodge or replace the runners...those std things aint too expensive... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ducati-7...996292?hash=item1a86fed104:g:0dgAAOSwzTJcSbpq he has the pair...
try a soldering iron and an plastic cable tie and try to melt the 2 together in the threaded hole and the self tapper should be a tighter fit
I think it's these... https://www.stein-dinse.biz/images/product_images/popup_images/75040051a.jpg p/n 75040051A P/S They're shown upto '96 but not '98 on..
Great, those are the ones. Mine are definitely not self-tapping. Must be a quirk of the early bikes. Thanks for the links, it might just be time for new runners if I can't get these ones sealed.
