I hope it works! Best of luck to you! |
I had that happen to my old Fast 90. Actually out of the box the intake did not have those inserts, just utilized a bolt, washers and nut on the backside. When I had Tony Mamo port it, he put those in presumably as an upgrade. Well I was well under torque spec when tightening the TB bolts and 2 of the 4 cracked at the flange, although the inserts never fell out. I used epoxy to firm it up and bolted it back together extremely gently, fortunately it seemed to be enough to seal the TB. Held for 10 years, even with a nitrous outlet plate sandwiched between until I took it off this winter and got rid of the setup. |

Epoxy wont hold much torque https://images1.mcmaster.com/mvA/con...ver=1450340863 I believe this would be the part number that you need to purchase from them 90245A171 Good luck.....btw, once you tap it with the 10mm outer thread you screw in the insert and just bang those protruding tabs in with a hammer to lock the insert in place Your welcome.....LOL =) -Tony |
