And I need 4...

I have some exhaust gasket material stuck in there right now as a shim... very slack, not at all shipshape. Anybody have a low cost option that doesn't look like a bag of ***?

Yep, it's crazy.

If I recall, someone here awhile back posted a part that was almost exactly the same but at 1/4 the price.

928 Int has used for $15 ea or get a used lower housing with straps attached.

Brendan C has one advertised for sale today!

I just did a search, Randy... the low-cost replacement looks like it's only good for pre-85 928's. I have those crazy metal hook buckles on mine.

Sigh...

One or both of these at the below link should work and they are only $9.99 each.

I have the same issue on an 87S4 Auto. Only two straps left and they are loose. I need four as well.

Call Karl at ImagineAuto (913-310-9927) and ask him. He got me four of them recently, and got me a good (um, thats a relative term for what is essentially a rubber strap) price on them.

Disclosure: I have no financial interest in recommending ImagineAuto, but Karl and Stephen are friends of mine, so I may not be the most objective person to ask for a reference on ImagineAuto.

Another option is to make your own. I made a set for the 931 (uses the same strap as the 928) using bungy cord ends and colored silicon tubing. The jury is still out on whether it looks too ricey.

No it ain't.

Bigs,

Think you are just partial to red.

$36 Bucks for a Air box Strap ?? I know, its high, but...up and down the car, parts are expensive.....$140 for an Interior light Delay relay, for example ...Etc. You can often find complete airfilter box assembies on Ebay with ALL the straps... for $75 or so...just look around and you can beat the "new" price severely...

IIRC, A lister posted about how a 911 strap can be used. There are more than a few aftermarket options for the 911 parts, if you can go that way.

I found a $2.50 fix for my air box straps. I used tire chain tensioners. They look like a huge rubber band about 3/8" in diameter. One tensioner on each side of the box. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow to show what I mean. I know it sounds red-neck, but it works great and doesn't look to "rigged".

True, true...

I've seen pix of someone using large zip-ties (I think it was M21Sniper). Clean looking--if you keep the lock at the back of the box, outta sight--but then you have to deal with cutting them to get the box open and keeping some replacements on hand. And, if you want to add a little of the "tuner" look, I'm pretty sure the zip ties are available in neon pink and neon green!
