Abstract:
An airbox plug, for temporarily protecting an airbox having an airbox opening having an airbox opening perimeter, and an airbox rim mounted at the airbox opening perimeter having a mounting strip extending laterally across the airbox rim and having a mounting core centered thereon, and a mounting hole extending vertically through the mounting core mounting strip substantially centrally within the airbox opening, comprising:a gasket cover, having a top, a bottom, an outer periphery; a gasket, having an outer edge and an inner edge, the gasket attached to the gasket cover bottom with the outer edge corresponding with the periphery of the gasket cover; a central bolt having a top and a bottom, the top protruding above the gasket cover top, the bottom extending through the gasket cover bottom for mating with the mounting hole in the mounting strip, the central bolt top having means for hand tightening the central bolt; and a pair of complementary arcs, extending downward from the gasket cover bottom, partially surrounding the central bolt at the gasket bottom, and defining a pair of lateral openings therebetween, the complementary arcs selectively extending around the mounting core with the mounting strip extending through the lateral openings to allow the gasket cover to be tightened downward toward the airbox rim, such that the gasket is tightened downward against the airbox rim, wherein the complementary arcs prevent the gasket cover from spinning during tightening of the gasket cover.
