In your photo I see one of the mounting L shaped pieces. Good luck finding a box. I got mine through the classifieds. I put a want to buy ad in when Jim @ EASY and Adam@ Unobtainium didn't have any.

I was lucky enough to find a box, now trying to figure you how to get screen and seal attached and get it mounted.

I was having trouble figuring out how this is suppose to vent air into the cabin -
Air comes into the trunk through the cowl vent and then is directed into the car through the round tubes on each side of the trunk, I
think it makes sense now, finally!

Here is a link to discussion of screen: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25626&hilit=air+box And here is a picture of a 62 with the angled hose. Later boxes use a different hose with 90 degree bend
