The portion of the airbox structure supporting the hinge for my carb heat door gave way recently. Here are some photos:
The part has about 290 hours on it. From what I can tell in the archives, this area can be a bit of a problem.
Pondering how best to repair this. Has anyone come up with any ways to make the assembly more robust?
I'm guessing that engine vibration/shake, especially on startup, is probably the culprit here. But nobody would mistake me for an engineer.
Thanks
