So what caused it? Can the old box be repaired? By whom? Alternatives?

Advice please
What caused it? Several possible issues but CIS just does it, sometimes for no apparent reason.

Three options:
1. Try to repair. Depends a lot on how it blew apart but some have had success with expoxy, etc. Search function should find some threads on how others have done it.
2. Put a "want to buy an airbox" in the Parts for Sale forum and take your chances somewhat.
3. Buy a new one. I took this option as I plan to keep the '74 for many more years. Pricey but I felt it was the best option in the long run.
