Guide for refitting original air box?

[JJ55]

As title really. Can someone point me to a guide for refitting the original air box. Have had a quick look through the guides section but no luck.

What car have you got?

 

[JJ55]

182

 

[VR46-G@Z]

OK, the 182 is very simple really... If you have the correct parts to hand it's just 2 bolts that hold the airbox to the car, then the intake hose is held on by 2 jubilee clips, one on engine intake and one on the airbox end... Then there's 2 cold air feed hoses(corrugated material) that clip into the airbox, one is clipped to a plastic pipe for cold air down behind the passenger side headlight... These are the bits you should have...

It was the 2 bolt bit I was wondering about as think I’m missing a bracket

 

[VR46-G@Z]

The brackets should be in place on the car with rubber grommets on, one where the front of the box will be and one at the back... If they're not there someone may have butchered them off...

Hmm going to visit the car (in storage) this week so guess I will find out...

 

[JJ55]

Thanks for the response much appreciated

No worries, hopefully you'll see 2 mounting points for the airbox in your engine bay.... 🤞

Finally got the car back from storage & had a look at fitting the new air box. No brackets front or back that I can see unless I’m being thick (which is always a possibility!). Front could be cable tied up, but the back?

Both brackets are missing. The front one would normally attach on the star bolt at front of ECU bracket and rear one is where you can see a bolt missing on the ECU bracket. There are two rubber grommets that go on the airbox too.
