I removed the rear hoods L&R to do an adjustment on the throttle tension and discovered that all four nuts and the plastic they are in were broken loose from the hoods. I checked on new replacement hoods and was shocked at the prices,$248 and $325. Anyone have a solution ?

The nuts you are talking about are on a Boomer? The plastic around the nuts on my TC33D has been cracked for a LONG time. At some point I'm sure I will have to use some epoxy and thread inserts. If it all breaks away, I think a person could form up the area with epoxy, hold the panel in place, drill location holes, then drill larger for thread inserts. ....

Not sure what your set-up is, but epoxy like J-B weld usually can fix these things. I'd grease any threads first so as to keep from stinking there. ....
