Hi

please PM if anyone has them

It's way easier to install the cover with two huge hose clamps, and harder to lose them too.

hmm nice idea - I'll get a couple of them - my problem is the horrible resonating noise the airbox makes when its not clamped properly.

Thanks for the tip

I put one together with 4 Nylon Wire Ties hooked together, on each end of the Airbox. Works good and can pull tight against the Filter Seal for a good tight seal.

Great idea. I also hate that noise I get from a loose air cleaner can be annoying. And the owner before me drilled a hole in the top to secure it, but it fell out.

Thanks for the tip.

Go on EBay and look at the MK1 Autohaus store. They have new clips for $5.
