Neither my 1.9 nor my 2.1 was bolted in, and neither had a heat shield.
Sounds like someone has already tried to improve on the factory install.

|Subject: Alternative Mounting of AFM and Air Filter Box
|
|  Does anyone know of a good alternative method to secure the
|AFM/Air-Filter box so it doesn't move around. That factory
|mount of the box is an abomination. It's an absolutely
|miserable thing to get to, and when you need to work on top
|with the box out - you have to go underneath and remove the
|shield and then the two bolts holding the box.
|Then you can go back on top to remove the box and do your
|work. What a crappy arrangement.
|
|Anyone know of alternatives that are secure? Alternatives that
|don't require getting under the van and doing all that removing?
|
|Thanks,
|
|John
