The most recent one I got from our esteemed lister/supplier was cheap chinee crap but can probably be fixed with some stout metal. I think the problem is sort of a design issue along with a marginal part (per the design) The air cleaner is pretty heavy and sits cantilevered out quite a ways on the bracket, and the engine, and hence AC shakes quite a bit, and that bending moment/flexing with that weight hanging out there just destroys a poorly-designed/manufactured part and general arrangement. --R On 2/22/2011 12:35 PM, Max Dillon wrote: > 300SD Air Cleaner "Fix".
