...time for some helicoils or threaded inserts guys...it max air filter removal a one hand operation! NT 444-544 1962

You know, Steve, I have a set of spare three bolt-hole SUs that came off a B20B, and on those the filter bolts just screw into the carb flange; and on the two holers I have on the car it looks like there are vestigial threads left in the holes - as if the threads have been reamed out. Maybe these things originally all came with threads, although that seems unlikely because I think I remember fiddling with those filter nuts all my Volvo-owning life - going back to the washable bronze-wool filters that came on the early B16s. But then, my memory is going the same route as my finger dexterity.;-(

PS: I remember now, those early, washable B16 filters had the thread in the filter, and you had to worm the bolt (a short one) in from the back. Oh, man, those things were really miserable!
