It's a shame but I think so.Eltnot wrote:Too much effort to just tap out a larger bolt size?
The bolt holes in the intake pipe flange look like brass hexaganol shapes pressed into the plastic so would probably have to press them out, put them in a vice and then drill and tap them - if there would be enough material left too, and then press them back in and hope they hold in the plastic. May actually be easy but I don't want to ruin it.
I think a thinner bolt with a sleeve will be easier.
