Reinstall everything. Keep in mind that you're removing a mounting point for the airbox, which is not a big deal, as everything still fits together tightly. ~~If it looks like there is too much space from~~ the ~~width~~ of the ~~saw you used~~, ~~add some sort of shim, such as a double-thick cereal~~ box~~. It shouldn't move even without~~ the ~~shim~~, ~~but it may vibrate slightly more~~.

Reinstall everything. Keep in mind that you're removing a mounting point for the airbox, which is not a big deal, as everything still fits together tightly. The elongated holes in the bottom of the battery box allow room for fore/aft adjustment, so slide the battery box tight against the air box, then snug up the bolts that go down through the bottom of the battery box.

One other thing you may want to consider at this time is putting hose clamps on the air box boots where they connect to the carburetors. The stock springs have only ~~has~~ 2 modes - easy and PITA.
