Are the bolts (the ones that the wing nuts attach to to hold the cover) replaceable?
Mine are stripped, and the bolts themselves turn around a lot in their little "housing" - looks like maybe they were tack welded and the weld came undone? I'd just try to re-tack it, but since the threads are also stripped in places, just checking to see if there's an easy way to replace them, or if I need a new assembly.

You can replace them. I went to the hardware store and got replacement bolts. I cut out the old, stripped studs and welded the new in their place. I used slightly longer bolts so that I can run the reusable Spectre air filter listed in the Techwiki. Works perfectly.
