If you use nuts and washers, you're just asking for those to vibrate loose over time and fall into the intake unless you epoxy them or something. This is not a perfect solution, as I'm sure drilling holes in the box makes it loose it's air tightness, but I didn't have enough material to work with to do something like with that metal bar that hendog used. Anyway, things are working just fine for now and it's been nearly a year.

that last pic looks OMINOUS!!!!!!!!!!! The dreaded door!!!!!!!!!
My break wasn't as clean as Hendogs but I think I've enough to drill into (although, not much)...looks like JB weld is the ticket,.....I'll be sure to clean/rough up the area...
So simple...great save, Hendog. I just prefer to keep her stock.
Thanks, again.
