Default How to never lose your airbox clips again

Pop rivet heads have to go on the inside to not foul filter element. The front one is different (left pic). LPG clips shown, but would work the same for the normal ones.

My job was so darn dodgy in comparison.

I used some good string and attached one end to the clip and the other to a part of the car closeby! LOL!

I haven't dared tell anyone until now! LOL! Oh the shame!

GK, don't worry, we've all done our share of quick fixes. At least you found a solution! I'm just lucky enough to have some spare time at the moment. Thanks for the comments.
