On my BJ7, I simply ran a tap thru the hole to
create threads in the body. I measured the
original hole size with a drill until I found
one that would not pass thru. One fraction size
larger worked for me. Then I used 2 bolts on
each carb that matched the tap size. <br>

<div>I think it would depend entirely on
the size of bolt you would use. Note
the coil kits usually don't come with
the drill bit you need to oversize the
holes before tapping for the coil, and
it's usually some oddball 64ths size.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>FWIW, it sounds like a good idea as I
have K&N filters on my BJ8, and they
are indeed a PITA to install
(unfortunately, I'd still have to deal
with the stupid little acorn nuts on the
outer side of the filters).</div>
