300D air bracket bolt(s) needed

The new (to me) 300D lacks the lower air bracket bolt.

Our local parts yards haven't seen a parts 300D in years.

Where is the best place to gain the missing bolt?


Thanks

JB Weld on oil cooler line?

Recently, one of my oil cooler lines rubbed a small hole due to a bracket failing. It's a slow oil drip.

Would JB Weld be a good option for this?

BMW airhead motorcycles

I'm investigating an airhead for my first motorcycle.

The late 70s/early 80s airheads appear good looking, reliable, and DIY.

If you have any experience, which would you have? Why?
