    Front CF engine cover not staying snug

    My front engine CF cover with "Biturbo" on it is not staying snug. The clips are staying "popped up" and are not locking into the bracket. I think there is an insert or bushing missing on the bracket below. Any ideas where I can get the inserts from?

    Ya there should be an insert in the bottom bracket. Check because your insert may still be there and is spinning then you try to push and twist the button. If they are still there secure them with the proper nut or you can use zip ties.

    The bracket bends very easily and make installation impossible. You just need to pull up and straighten out the flanges where the quarter turn fasteners attach.

    Thanks guys...it looks like one insert is missing and the other one is rotating freely.

    I have the same problem, for a quick fix I just put a little duct tape where the insert would be just to hold it in place. I don't think they sell the insert separately but I'll keep you posted on what I find.
