ABSTRACT:
An automotive air intake assembly having a conduit is integrally molded to a rigid plastic striker plate without the need of additional fasteners or adhesives. The striker plate has an annular planar portion and a beveled portion surrounding the planar portion. The planar portion has first and second surfaces and a plurality of apertures therethrough. The first surface mates with an air cleaner. Members on the second surface bisect the apertures and form an attaching surface. An elastomeric conduit is integrally molded about the attaching surface to permanently fasten the conduit to the striker plate.
