I have a76 Vega. Can anyone tell me what kind of nuts secured the lid of the air cleaner? . There are 4 of them and right now I have 2 hex nuts, 1 small wingnut and a large wingnut like you'd find on a V8 aircleaner...Looking to get it more original looking. Thanks,,, Randy B

I can probably send you some off one of my engines if you'd like.

Appreciate the offer but I can wait awhile. I'm not really going to be restoring this until NEXT fall. It just kind of bugs me everytime I open the hood seeing 3 different fasteners on the air cleaner There's a junkyard about 4 miles from me with 4 Vega's. I"ll stop in there and take a look... Thanks for the offer!!!..Randy B.

No worries.. I have a few Vegas I am going to sell so I may consider parting them.

No Nuts on the Air Cleaner. Just behind the Steering Wheel!
