The four rubber straps on my air box are useless. They are intact, but there is no life left in them and they are stretched out. The solution for me was to go to the local Napa and buy a bag of tire chain tensioners. Cost $4.50. Took about ten minutes to install. Just take off the hooks and put on the air box. The fit is nice and tight. Hope this helps someone out.

Hey Mark, didn't you actually vent your airbox to relieve vacuum? Because of that, I was under the impression that a tight fit on the airbox wasn't necessary. Perhaps you can clarify this for me...

Nice fix! Gotta love those $5 fixes that save you over a hundred bucks...

DANG - Great idea. Only problem - I seriously doubt those of us in the warmer climates will be able to find them!!!

Mark,

You can always use silicone tubing and the end off bungie cords.

There was a thread on this a long while back, suggesting that the aftermarket straps for 911 cars can be adapted pretty easily for this duty. Performance Products, Mid-America, and other 911 supporters sell their own straps in several colors, so the folks with red engine bay details can color coordinate their straps.

Anybody got pictures of the 911 straps in this duty?

928 Intl sells the 911 straps as a less expensive alternative to the 928 straps. They look basicly the same, but they're a little shorter.

Mine are shot too. (Same year as yours)
For $5, I will surely give those straps a try. Thanks for the tip!

Peace,

If you give it a try, make sure you get the tensioners for cars, not trucks.

I like this idea since any non-928 people would not think it isn't original (like tech inspection at DE's).
