Mki Airbox Rubbers

Looking at the rubbers, its a very curious design as there is a lip where the clip fits. On the inside at this point the internal diameter changes....so they are kinda destined to come loose and fall off.
Another wondering, does it actually matter if they are loose? The weight of the tankety tank will hold em in place.
Getting new rubbers anyroad just wanderin is all.
Anyone found a replacement for the phirrips head clampmy things? I am wonderin about some kind of leverage clip or really wide jubbly clips.

Since I have a spare set of rock hard oldies oi plan on cutting off the carb connection part and making a new non-pop off connection.
Someone on ear made new rubbers from a milking parlour component, so if all else fails oil try dat.

As my bike is in many, many tiny bits still, I had them out of the air filter case, dumped a kettle full of hot water over them and used both jubilees on each, one to clamp and one to stop it trying to slide upwards. I left each like that a few days and them seem keener but I'm still worried they'll do it again once my back is turned
I'm thinking of roughing up the lip on the carb (swarf's up dude!) and maybe wrapping insulting tape round the rubber so the jubilee has nowhere to go. If that doesn't work I'll think about gluing the buggers on with something that won't set completely hard (no idea what that is though )

Fixed rubbers by modding an old set. All that was needed is 2.5cm of 60mm silicone hose. It grips loike a badger to a carrot even without any clips.
Details to follow once my backdoor trojan is gone. :-P

The problem is the poor shape of the airbox rubbers. They donut sit flat on the carb lip. The rubber is tapered and the clip is pants and is able to ride RIGGHHHHT UP on the rubber whenst you try and install. Actually Steve already said all that so look at his post ooop there ^^^ for a more eloquent description.
The airbox naturally rocks with the enjun running (take the tank off, start boike and watch it. No wonder they pop off. Certainly a new set of rubbers would give you enough grip for them to stay on but fur how long and that doesn't solve the pants design (and price). So:
I gots me some 60mm internal diameter silicon tooob.
Cut me a coupla 2.5Cm edit: ta Steve again sections off (one fur each rubber). I found a band saw to give the the cleanest cut. If ya dunnae have access to wan then put a jublee clip round the toob where you want it cut and then work round with a nice sharp blade..........WATCH YER FLINGERS!!!!!! Else a cardboard tube inside the tube and a hacksaw maybe?
Then oi cut the existing mullered rock 'ard rubbers as shown below:

Next oi used silicon adheeeesive to stick on the 2.5Cm edit: ta WiCkY replacement section. Did it really need glueing in place?...mayhap snot.
Here's one I made earlier:

The new wan is a likkle taller...cous 2.5Cm edit: ta Steve was on the generous side to give us a likkle squish whenst fitting.
Since the phirrips clamps are a pain and the clip rides up oi decided instead of lobbing it in the bin, to move the thing to the top of the silicon tube for extra clampability and to stop the new lower hex headed jubbly clip from drifting up (not that it should now it has flat pipe on the carb lip.
That left me ear:

All thats left now is to fit em on, clamp em down and rag hard on the airbox to see if they pop.

I ragged hard enough on the airbox to start to worry about the inlet to carb rubbers coming off...at which point oi stopped and concluded....THE JOBS A CARROT.

Nice Wan
Did it put a stop to the 'clamp riding up when tightening' problem ?
