Default HELP!!! SOS!!!! (save our scion!) Air box mount.

Alright guys, this is an odd malfunction, but here goes. The other day I was under the hood of my 07 Tc when I noticed that the bottom hose clamp going to the throttle body was loose (I have a ram air intake). While getting a socket on it to tighten it up and the tube slid up like it wasn't connected to anything. I looked down at the rubber mount that it mounts to (the stock one that the factory air box mounts to) and the top bolt had slid out of it . After about 20 zip ties I got the it all back together and limped her back home...I checked with the dealer I used to work at and the only way you can get the piece is with the entire air box....fml. Anyways, anyone had this problem before/know where to find one? Like I said this is an odd one. I worked at a Toyota dealer for 2 years and never seen one needing to be replaced, not even on most cars that have been wrecked in the front end and had to have the air box replaced. Any help would be appreciated!

Go to your local junkyard and pick up an airbox off a wrecked tc. Also check camrys and other similar vehicles that might have the same airbox part.

Lol sadly here in Ky, A.K.A. rebuild capital USA lol Toyota's hardly ever go to the junk yard. rarely will you even see a 90's model Toyota in the junkyard. anyways the closest junkyard that may have one is like a 2 and a half hour drive. but good suggestion!
