L88 Hood Install
I've got all the parts (almost) needed to install my Ecklers L88 hood on my 1972 coupe. I'll be bonding the air box to the underside of the hood soon and have all the air cleaner parts to include the seals. What I don't have and can't find/don't understand is what secures and locates the filter assembly inside the air box. My poor project car has sat 90% complete in my garage for the last 6 years. I'm finally getting off my back side and want to get the ball rolling again. I thought there was a couple small L clips or brackets that did the job?? Can someone help me out with what I need and where to find it? Thanks in advance for any help!

on mine, the foam filter fits snug in the airbox, and grabs the metal ring, needing nothing else. It won't fall out when the hood is open, and is very secure when closed. Make sure you mount it correctly though. Mine was slightly off and gave me some issues with alignment to the carb.
