Default LID questions!!!

Putting on my MTI lid, what did you guys use to seal the edge? I don't have the original gasket anymore, should I just pick one up from autozone or what else could i use besides weatehrstripping?

Should i put the MAF straight into it, or use soem sort of rubber couping?

and I also have to drill a hole for the iat sensor.. what size did anybody else drill and how can i keep the sensor in there? what type of grommet could i use?

The MAF goes straight in. I used a hairdryer and vaseline to help out, lol. A heat gun is ideal just to heat things up some, takes alittle working but it'll go.

Weatherstripping and Silicone, dont be shy with the silicone either, my slp lid was junk and i had silicone and weather stripping all over, specially after i installed my fogger nozzle.

You can get a roll of weatherstripping material from Menards for dirt cheap.
