open airbox ideas?

[brimo]

Have decided to use the 1 inch strip of aluminum method of holding the air filter in place,like this, http://www.ferracci.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=264

what's the best way of holding it on? 
I currently am using velcro (hook and loop) tape but not real confident. Don't want to use zip ties and dont want to drill or mount anything to the existing bottom half of the airbox. Any suggestions? Pics?
Thanks in advance

I had that setup, and i used the stock spring clips. They only sit above the ring by 1/2 inch or so. It also makes for easy removal for cleaning. I would do that unless you are set on modifying your plastic box.

Use the old clips, how? Bend them around the aluminum, sorry, needs more explanation.

Sorry, No. the aluminum ring has a groove along the two outer edges. you clip the spring clips in those slots just like the stock plastic lid.

I see what you mean now, mine is a single strip of aluminum I bent to shape, not the feracci item, this has given me an idea though...thanks.

this is how I've got it held in at the moment seems ok but would like to get a bit more downward force on it.

What's your issue with zip ties? I use big black ones.

I am an electrician, so have zip ties comin' out of my wazoo, just reckon they look a bit "cheap" like the jobs only half done, that could just be me being fussy though......
