Re: fixing air cleaner horn, i need your help
Carefully grind the welds of the horn to remove. Grind the revers side of air cleaner on the good horn. Clean mating surfaces and ensure you have a nice tight fit between them. Then use a thin coat of the metal glue (like they use on body sheet metal). clamp and clean any residue before it sets. paint.

Re: fixing air cleaner horn, i need your help
Hi Kevin, nice to see you on the site. I am trying to fix the same problem on my Trans Am air cleaner. I have a good snorkel to replace the run-over one. Do you have a brand name or supplier for the proper adhesive? -NJSteve

Re: fixing air cleaner horn, i need your help
I have the same problem, but the snout on mine was cut off. I gently drilled the spot welds out on mine.
Did any other air cleaners use a snout the same as a 69 Camaro cowl air cleaner? Lastly, why not just spot weld the new snout on like the original??

Re: fixing air cleaner horn, i need your help
Some of the panel bond adhesives are kind of pricey and require a special aplicator gun. Especially since you are only talking a small spot.Best bet may be to stop by a local body shop and see if the can do it for you.Maybe take some pics of the car and they wont charge you.
