Any comments or suggestions anyone? ------------- reply ----------------- I use shock cord (bungee cord, elastic cord) to secure the lid on my AFM. I welded and riveted tabs to the AFM housing to attach the shockcord around. In my case I need to open up the AFM flapper completely when I run on propane - so that there is no restriction. If I were just running gasoline I would just silicone the lid shut. You should not need frequent access to the AFM.
