    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Airbox gasket

So I was oiling my air filter today and...the gasket ripped on the airbox. I'm talking about the soft-foam gasket that the air filter mates with on the airbox.

The short side of the rectangle has just fallen off, and if I install as it is, there's a pretty sizable gap. This doesn't appear to be an orderable part, so am I just meant to fabricate something and glue it on then? Has anyone else had this fun yet?
 
Weatherstrip foam tape from the hardware store is a reasonable replacement.

Welcome to the forum. Remove it all and replace it with sticky backed weatherstripping foam. You should be able to find something of a similar thickness and carefully cut it makes a good seal. Nessism beat me to the answer while I was getting my coffee.
