    Jo,

    I added more pics of the airbox on my reply...to include my trailer. I'll take better pics when I go home next week.

    my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

      How to make replacement rubber airbox seals.

      Cut a piece of packing foam to a suitable size.

      Hand press this on the the edges of the airbox in order to leave indentations of where the foam needs to be scored. Mark these lines out with a permanent marker and then draw in the edges of the seal to be cut.

      Cut out a rough blank as shown below.

      Foam blank being marked and cut,


      Clamp this into place with the metal sidepanel as a trial fitment.


      This will highlight areas needed to be trimmed. Source material such as this from custom gasket material suppliers, use your foam blank as a guide cut out a rubber seal and score in a similar manner.


      Scan through the suppliers homepages to find a suitable material (thickness, sealing, oil / heat resistance properties)

      This foam gasket seal is also missing.


      Seen here in the second airbox I sourced. Again go through the custom gasket material suppliers homepages and you will find a suitable material
