182 carb air box camlocks

[5QK]

Does anyone know if there is something that works better than the little camlocks on a 182q airbox? Mine dont work well at all.

Like quarter turn thumb-turns? I loved mine but the last airbox rebuild they got removed. Now I have drilled bolts and castle nuts with a safety pin.

Yes. Mine have the 1/4 turn, and they seem to be worn out. Maybe I just have to put in new ones. I'll try to find the part numbers.

Check out the Dynamic Propellor induction latch kit if your quarter turn fasteners are a pain to turn

“Dynamic propeller has come up with a S.T.C'd and P.M.A.'d kit that allows you to draw both surfaces together with two latches, enabling you to lock the two quarter turn fasteners together successfully.
Note : This kit is not meant to take the place of the two quarter turn fasteners.”
