I bought one of those repair kits from Skandix a while back with the intention of using it as a starting point to specify some cheaper, generic parts to repair a broken air box I've got in my garage. When I find it again ...

You can buy clips off Ebay that will fix it fine. M4 bolt I think fits them

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175483916422 And the same on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/sourcing-ma.../dp/B07XYW55SQ I don't know if the dimensions are right, but comparing them to the ones in the photos on the Skandix repair kit they look good to me.

Brookhouse have these which may well have been the original style clips.

I would certainly agree that the ones on ebay or Amazon would be better as they can be screwed on to the lower part of the box with stainless self tappers available from Screwfix(6x 1/2 inch)
How important is this,though. My lid isn't loose as the connection to the MAF holds it in place. However, it isn't as Volvo intended..... |

I trim the top of the air filter gasket so not as much pressure exerted on the original clips. Whenever I've changed it there hasn't been any dirt inside the lid on the clean side. There's nothing inherently bad about a ratchet strap.🙂 They used to use belts to keep bonnets secure in the olden days.🧐

Alright, own up, who is the rök smoker in the VOC who valued a non turboed, cloth seated, tartan rugged, steel wheeled, cracked wing mirrored, M47 equipped, 216,000 mile base model 940GL at £2500?!
