Act carbon air box fitting

[MeesterT]

Been wrestling with my airbox today and wondered is anyone has any tips for getting the engine side clip done up? What's the best way to do this for people who don't have 12" fingers made of steel? Or am I missing the obvious?

Thanks

It should be as easy to do up as the 2 catches on the other side. Why not do the back clip first? Don't the brackets adjust too that hold the lower section of the airbox in place so you can tilt it upwards?

Hi.

I had issues fitting mine and Str8Six resolved them for me. Sometimes the Airbox doesn't fit correctly or line up which makes it difficult to clip together. On mine a bracket in the engine near the starter motor had to be changed to get the Airbox in properly so it sat flush. The top was fine but bottom out of alignment and when you clipped the top on it was forcing it on at an angle. A couple of us tried to fit it and gave up in the end. Took Str8Six about an hour to do for me.

For your clip, you just have to stick your hand right up the side of the engine, leaning in the engine bay to do so.

I've got big hands broad shoulders but could still get in there and do so.

To say its tight is an understatement. If its simply a matter of feeling your way and sticking at it I will do that again tomorrow. I was just hoping there was a cheat to save my knuckles.

Thanks for the advice :0)

Had the ACT airbox on my Sagaris even STR8six strugled with it, very tight fit but much better then
the plastic type once on
