Wow, this is pretty weird! At the Toronto meet yesterday, I popped
my hood in the parking lot to discover my 14" FABM hanging back by the
firewall, held in place mostly by the relocated IAT sensor in the base!

For whatever it's worth, I used a piece of threaded rod from the hardware

in heat shrink tubing so if it did break it might stay together and not drop
into the engine.
