Default FAST 102 Throttle body bolt inserts
I have a FAST 102 where the upper brass inserts have loosened. Can anyone recommend the best course of repair? I imagine they could be reinstalled with some kind of epoxy, but what kind? Should I just switch the insert type? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Call FAST and see if they have a repair for it.

I'll check FAST and then possibly JB Weld if nothing else Presents itself.

I'm thinking the JB Weld might be the quicker AND more permanent solution.
