FS: White Plastic Wingnuts for Air Cleaner Snorkel Housing

[greggearhead]

I have one pair of white air cleaner wingnuts - old, not new repro (that are black).

$30 shipped.

I'll take them, pm sent

They were originally black, the white comes from sun fading

What Clyde said. I don't think they faded from black to white...

Hard to call them white.
Look at the threads , they're black.
I agree it's faded:heat, contact, sun or time.
The bolts and hex nuts are also black but not faded.
A puzzler.

THe threads are darker because they are dirty - that's what happens to them, and they see NO sunlight....

Common sense will tell you that these did not start out as white in color. Surely someone has a factory picture showing these wing nuts were originally black.

Of course they started out as black. Here's a picture of the two original plastic wing nuts to my air box that hasn't seen the road since 1986. There is nothing white about them. I was one of the first to view this posting and the white thing completely threw me off. I figured they had to be original but I just couldn't understand the white part of it. The car also happens to have spent its entire life up in the Pacific Northwest. We don't get a ton of Sun up here.
