    72 air filter housing trivia question

    i have 2 air filter housings.
    curiously on both:
    there is 1 metal and 1 black nylon snorkle mount bolt.
    at first i thought my original was rigged, but the replacement i got was the same.
    is this typical?
    one of the nylon bolts was partially melted. i know this happens occasionally.
    so what's original, 2 nylon bolts?
    in support of this all washers, nuts and wingnuts are black nylon.
    against, the metal bolt is german make and the same 1+1 configuration was on the replacement housing.
    opinions?

    Both my 72's have all plastic hardware. Seems like a huge coincidence, but I would bet that each at one time has had one plastic one replaced.
