slp out of stock I put in a online order of an slp lid a couple of days ago. I contacted the vendor to check on the shipping and I was told that they are on back order and that I won't be able to get it for about three weeks! Does anyone know what the hell this **** is about????

Please do not bang your head too hard. You will be more then happy if you wait it out. We changed over to a new injected molded piece that will provide an even better fit and finish compared to the older SLP lid. We included a slight angle on the tabs so that they slide in the base with much less effort then the previous lid. There are also no more plastic weld marks on the side of the neck. The lid dimensions, because of the new injection tooling have a much tighter tolerance then the old lid giving the same excellent fit and finish to each and every lid.
Hang in there I know you will not be disappointed.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks
Hank

*sigh* On a more applicable note, I was actually very impressed with your older lid. If this new one is even better, then it must be really, really nice. Props to you guys.

I appologize for the delay, the new lids are finished and we have been shipping about 100 a day. EVERY lid will be shipped out eliminating ALL backorders by next tuesday. If you want to PM me your full name and PH# I can see if your lid has shipped already. It very well might have.
Thanks
Hank

Not to mention what's up with the little plug on the side? That thing was also a major pain in the *** to get in? What's the purpose of that thing? Couldn't the lid be cast without that in there? I like the lid now that it's on, but I was about to smash that **** trying to get it to fit.
I ordered one from ws6store.com and it took almost 2 months b/c SLP had them on backorder....
But they were really good and shipped them out to everyone on the waiting list the same day they received them from SLP. The fit was tight, especially compared to when I put mine on! (this one went on a friends car)

I'm going to have to revisit the instructions about temperature, but all I saw was lubrication "might" be necessary. I put the MAF in the freezer, put soap on the inside of the lid, and put the oven on broil with the door open to heat the end of the lid, still wouldn't go on. Ended up resoaping, refreezing the maf, and taking a propane torch to the lid to get it to fit. Which was still a huge pain in the *** after torching it.

As for the plug. If you try and jam the plug in and bend the edges that is when it becomes difficult. Take your time and line it up in the center of the hole by looking from the inside of the lid before you install it. This needs to be a tight fit as well as it needs to be air tight.
Again, sorry you had a hard time.
