    Tripower Base Tabs Breakage

    The 67-69 tripower air cleaner base tabs to bolt it to the outer carbs seems like a bad design. My last car one tab was already broke off and I noticed my current one a tab has a lot of play. Seems like a bad design not to have those tabs sitting flush on the carbs. Or am I missing something? I have not seen any mention of a spacer so when you tighten the bolt even slightly it starts to bend the tab down since it's not making direct contact with the bolt hole area of the carb.
    TIA,
    Jack

    Better question is how do you fix it? I have a base with a broken tab too.
