A funny thing happened on the way to Albuquerque

So I'm thinking oh great, now I have to go look for my side cover.
Never found the side cover but kept on trucking. Then I reach up, for some unknown reason, and touch the little plastic nut around the ignition. I must have touched it because it looked cracked because when I touched it it fell apart and into pieces. Awesome.
So I keep on trucking only to have it suddenly sputter and run out of gas. I get it to reserve and restart the engine and continue on my way. (I made it to a gas station)
An hour and a half later (it's only 40 miles) I made it to Albuquerque. I was not in a good mood to meet my friend.
So... now I get to buy more things!
Just thought I would share

No-can-help with a replacement but you may want to consider getting a set of new grommets to hold down new cover... about $1.92 each. :whistle: Try here:

Do you have any pictures of the how you wired your covers. Sounds like a good winter upgrade. Thanks.

I use insulated solid core wire just incase it should touch something it shouldn't but I know people that use picture hanging wire too.
Hope it saves you some $$ like it has me!
Oh yeah get the real long THIN dia. cotter pin. And drill hole JUST large enough to insert it.
