hi can anyone tell me if the rubber gasket goes under the alloy ring ie on top of the airbox bottom half or on top of the alloy ring ie before youy put the lid on ??.also I would have thought it would come with 2 gaskets one under and one on top

I bought mine second hand and theres only one rubber seal.no rush tho as I didn't realise id need longer bolts as well

One seal. The aluminium "ring" holds it in place on the top of the remaining part of the airbox

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
