Man mine did the same thing.. What is up with that? I was not happy, like you said the covers are not cheap..
There are 3 bolts in the kit.2 are used in the tube supporting the left & right sides [between the lower V on the motor] the 3rd is used on the small plate that fits between the covers on the right hand side,the problem seems to be that the bolt threads are to soft.The bolts in the tube installed O K but the one on the in the plate tore off its thread.I replaced it with a cadmium allen bolt which installed with no problem.So the bolts are going in halfway and cross threading? Or is it just on the last bolt on the right side?![]()
