Ghetto intake scrap hole fix!

Alot of the sc guys when they get their intakes sometimes they don't line up right and it rubs on the metal lip causing a gouge in the intake and possibly a hole.

I want to see who has the most ghetto fix for this problem and then post it up with pics.

I will get mine up when I can get my camera fixed so lets see em guys.

Magnum steel.

To make it not happen just put a rubberized buffer (mat or cut a gasket) around the intake where it's going to rub. Costs like 3 or 4 bucks at ace hardware.

If you catch it before rubbing a hole through...

I took mine off the car, wrapped a towel around the part where it rubs, and wacked it on my concrete floor in the garage a few times until that spot was flat and wouldn't rub.
