AUSTROFLAMM 1990 - 91 FIREWALL CAGE NUT CONTROVERSY - " WHY DON'T I HAVE CAGE NUTS?

Описание: In this deep dive, we’re heading back to the origins of a classic. We are taking a technical look at the *1990-91 Austroflamm Integra I* and a specific design challenge that frustrated many early owners: the original firewall mounting system.

If you own one of these early units, you know the struggle. These models were manufactured with nuts welded to the top of the firewall on each side, paired with threaded bolts welded directly to the stove body on the lower section. While it worked at first, it was a design that "needed improving"—and that’s exactly what we’re discussing today. We’ll show you the evolution from those fixed, welded components to the much more user-friendly *replaceable cage nuts* that revolutionized the disassembly and maintenance process.

🔧 Evolution of the Integra I Firewall

The shift to cage nuts wasn't just a minor change; it was a game-changer for the longevity of the stove.

*The Original Problem:* If a welded bolt snapped or a welded nut stripped, the repair was a nightmare involving drilling or welding inside the firebox.
*The Solution:* By switching to cage nuts, the mounting hardware became easily replaceable. If a bolt seizes today, you simply pop out the old cage nut and snap in a new one.
