Was getting very frustrated trying to get to the two bolts underneath the stock airbox yesterday, to the point where I though it would be faster to take the bumber off. When I removed the splash guard on the drivers wheel arch the bracket which the bottom two screws fix to just fell off due to massive corrosion. I decided not to go any further (cut the airbox out in the end!), but now my spalsh guard has two or three holes where there is nothing to screw to, so is a bit loose.

 

Anyone konw if these brackets are replaceable?

had the samewith mine. I hate to say it, but unless you have a tap and die set then I would use cable ties.

I was shocked how bad it was to be honest - poor design as water must get trapped in there. To fix i will have to fabricate something the tap & die like you said - at the moment there is nothing there left to fix it to!

 

Used your site for assitance on filter fitting by the way - very hlepful, nice one :)
