Wow, thanks Gary. If everything I've read here fails I will send the sleeve
and box to you. I do see what you mean about the importance of an ellipsis
and will try to incorporate that into the design. I figure I can get an
ellipsis in the top and bottom and then join it to the air box afterwards.
Thanks again. Bob

What the heck is all the fuss?
3M Weatherstrip adhesive (GET THE BLACK STUFF AT THE AUTOMOTIVE
PAINT
 
 
 SUPPLY STORE)is made for the very purpose. Clean the rubber where it
mates to the cover. Clean the cover where it mates with the boot,
alcohol or lighter fluid works well. Now a THIN layer of adhesive is
run
 
 
 around the mating sufaces of both parts. Allow the glglue to dry till
firm and barely tacky . Now put the two together press the joint
firkly
 
 
 and allow to finish drying for a couple hours.
There will be no excess mess and the seal will last longer than the
boot.

pull the battery. undo the two bottom bolts on the air cleaner and
just
 
 
 
 loosent eh top bolt. then you can use your finger to goo the lip of
the
 
 
 
 boot
then swing the cleaner housing back into place and bingo.

Bob,

There is another alternative that you might want to consider. Gary
Cheek
 
 
 and I have glued the rubber air boot on our bikes to the airbox
using
 
 
 
 
 weatherstrip adhesive, and so far it is working quite well. The
biggest
 
 
 
 
 tricks were getting everything in position prior to applying the
glue,
 
 
 
 
 and getting the boot and airbox squeeky clean for the adhesive. I
had a
 
 
 
 
 new boot and a freshly powder coated airbox to work with, so I just
installed the boot, trial fitted the airbox, and cleaned their
mating
 
 
 
 
 surfaces with solvent alcohol. The extra glue was removed with a
bit of
 
 
 
 
 naptha (handwarmer fluid).

I thought about the inner sleeve trick myself, let us know how it
works
 
 
 
 
 if your decide to go that way.

 Gentlemen,
Currently I have the traditional air cleaner system on my Ambo.
,
 
 the
 
 
 
 round air filter, inside the metal air box, loosely connected to
the
 
 
 
 
 
 rubber sleeve going to the carbs. The rubber thingy is
connected
 
 with
 
 
 
 duct tape. Not a good situation. What I want to do is fix the
weak
 
 
 
 
 
 spot in this system which is the loosely connected rubber sleeve
to
 
 the
 
 
 
 metal air box. I want to make a metal collar that attaches to
the
 
 
 
 
 
 inside of the metal air box and extends out and into the rubber
sleeve
 
 
 
 so that I can put a large hose clamp around the rubber sleeve
and
 
 cinch
 
 
 
 it down onto this new extension. Does this make sense? I'd
rather
 
 not
 
 
 
 throw out the original air box and put on modern filters.
Thanks,
 
 Bob
