Spook,

There is nothing so detailed that you need worry.

What I did was simply this - open the airbox lid and removed the filter - you are now looking at the bottom of the airbox, with the flapper valve in plain sight on the pass side of the airbox. I held the flapper shut, and came in from the back wall of the airbox with an average-sized sheet metal screw. The screw was placed so as to hold the flapper shut, like a little deadbolt, so to speak.

I did this with the thought that if I ever did discover that I needed this flapper mechanism, I could simply remove the screw and seal the hole.
