Hey there...is there a trick or secret to getting the straps on a factory airbox for a '74 911?
Have bought two new sets and all seem way too short and unable to stretch to fit...thanks.

The airbox cover on the earlier cars was way larger than my 78. Are you sure you got the right strap ? If so then you need strong fingers

what brand strap are you buying? If the URO- theirs tends to be slightly " off".

FWIW,....

'73-'76 are different from the '77 & later ones so make sure you have the right ones.

Generally speaking, URO stuff is junk so we never use anything made by them. In this case, Porsche still offers that part and that would be my only choice.

theres 2 different lengths you have the longer one- ONLY buy oem- euro is garbage and those red straps the weltmeister- they flat out don't fit waste of money. measure yours and order hem

theiceman

actually he has the shorter one .. he needs the longer one

unless he keep stretching it and its still not short enough

lol I ment to type he needs the longer one- that's what she said..

you have to be careful otherwise the plastic clips on the airbox they attach to will crack off
