Just bought a leer cap but can only screw in to the front two spots...back ones won't take, look pretty rusty in there afraid they've just disintegrated over the years...any ideas on how to mount a cap without those



thank you
 
Soak them with oil. Get a bottom tap of those threads. Not a starter tap. Clean them up.

If that dont help.Next step would be to drill them and renew them with a helicoil.

IMO if there is a way to use the original points. It is better than rigging.
 
I just screwed the bolt into one of the other bolt holes beside it. There's three there, just use one of the other mounting holes if suggestion above doesn't work out.
