As long as the MAF pushes in tight the screws ain't really needed.. the rubber o-ring seals it enough.

Just self tapped in to the plastic. Mine are roughly 25 mm long. O ring seals & holds. Only a securing screw to look pretty, I think. Air flow & o' ring do the work.

ROFL, hiya cobber... How on earth did you "wear them out", you only need to clean the MAF every 40,000K's or so, maybe 20 at the most

Hope the GQ boys don't see the plastic reference tho, you know how precious they are about modern materials technology

I "borrowed" some screws from a grab kit at work they did the job
