    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know the part number of the nut/bolt and rubber bush that holds the airbox cover in a carb'ed engine?
    i have a photo and circled the missing area.

    No worries. Aside from the holey airbox, you seem to be missing the vac hose to the blend flap vacuum motor from the airbox thermostat too. If the flap is inoperative, you'd do well to block off that vac stub of the airbox thermostat, or it'll cause a vac leak whenever the thermostat is colder than 20C.

    Ah cheers Pete.
    Yeah I am missing that vac hose - not too sure where it is.
    I think I had the holey airbox during winter and get a healthy 35mpg :)
    Also I recently passed the 155,000 Miles milestone!!
