Anyone know how or what i could use to replace this piece? I was putting on the Duct....and felt the bolt slipping. I didnt think it was a big deal till i removed the bolt....and the inside threaded sleve fell out! Any suggestions?

what about just tapping it and making new threads. or perhaps a well nut would work. i most likely would weld something on because of the pressure inside the intercooler

Just weld a thicker 2"x@" square over the hole, drill and tap it out.

Im suprised on how it was installed in the 1st place. Seems its just a threaded sleve pounded in the hole to fit. I dont think it was ever welded in there at all....the other bolt seems to be the same way. I may just try and find a bigger sleve to go back in the hole....anyone know where to get these at?
