Air Cleaner housing mounts broken/fixed

all 3 of my 95s have this problem. '00,'01 + 02. 2 broken tabs where the air cleaner box mounts to the frame. The fasteners are all still in place, but due to the design, they split, and no longer secure airbox to frame rail. Luckily , gravity allows airbox to sit on the frame rails ok, but it is not secured. Rather than run a single stud or bolt through the plastic housing, there is a 3 part bit with a rubber piece in the middle. The 2 studs - one that has the nut on it that you see from below, and the screw that goes into the plastic above, are glued onto each side of the rubber bushing. Problem is, this glue gives out, on the stud/nut side, and box is no longer secure. While installing the larger intake pipe, I removed the broken pieces, drilled thru the rubber bushing, drilled out the screw that goes into plastic, drilled thru the plastic on top of mount area, and ran a bolt thru the whole thing. Now secure, still with the benefit of the rubber for anti vibe. Will see how long it lasts. Anyone else experience this? Regards, Tom S.
