Dorman 41081 Air Cleaner Wing Nut

Dorman 41081 is a specific-fit air cleaner fastener made from nylon with a black finish. It is engineered to match the fit and function of the original air cleaner wing nut on select Ford and Mercury vehicles, including classic Ford Bronco and Ford E-100 Econoline applications.

Key Features

  • Specific-fit air cleaner wing nut for OE-style replacement
  • Nylon construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant service
  • Black color for a factory-style appearance
  • Thread size: 1/4 in-20 or M6
  • Designed for select Ford Escort, Ford Mustang, Mercury Capri, and related applications

Detailed Description

This Dorman air cleaner fastener is built to secure the air cleaner assembly on specified vehicles where the original wing nut is worn, missing, or damaged.

It is a practical option for vehicles such as the Ford Escort, Ford Mustang, and Mercury Capri, as well as other listed applications.
