Additional information

This speed nut, part number 3290-337, clamps to panel edges or openings so a screw or bolt can thread into it securely. Proper installation helps hold components fastened without the need for traditional nuts on the backside.

If a screw or bolt loosens, falls out, or the panel shifts during use, a worn, loose, or damaged speed nut may be the cause. Visible distortion or loss of grip can also affect how well the speed nut holds fasteners.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire or power source to prevent accidental starting. Align the speed nut with the panel edge and press it into place, then insert the screw or bolt and tighten to secure the assembly.
