TAKE on the same challenge from a fellow engineer.
Here's mine:
My goal was to put the flange on the outside for as little intrusion into the airbox as possible (to minimize turbulence). I used 2 gaskets, cap screws with nuts and lock washers, no sealant. My flange started off as a "cheap plastic" Spectre flange from Advance. I turned it, shaved it, drilled new bolt holes, and painted it.
