Question Carb Bolt Question

This is in reference to the long threaded piece that comes up out of the middle of your carberatour, its the piece the you screw the wing nut back onto when you replace the air filter. My question is can this "piece" be raised up any, to allow for an air filter which is higher in height than my previous one (so I can have enough of the "piece" sticking through to screw the wing nut back on) or can someone tell me what it is called and where I could get a longer one if I need it?? Any help would be appreciated.

It's threaded in and can be raised as far as you have threads to turn out. If you need a longer one, just get a piece of threaded rod of the same size from the hardware store and cut it to your desired length with a hacksaw.
