rogerguzzi Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hello All I have been having a measure up and this is what I have found 1st photo 2 at the new o/d 2nd old and new Others made oval. I was thinking of getting rid of the centre bolt and the carb ones in the lid as I want to use c/sk or socket heads on radiused ram pipes So it looks to me as if they will fit made oval I will fit some tags inside to hold the shape and position. I did think about one large o/d one and squashed oval but I can find the o/d but not squashy? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerguzzi Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello All My new VW filters arrived today and I think they will be good Old one 150mm Dia new 160mm Dia and only 0.5mm thicker and rubber faced so will squash! 1st photo 1 old and 1 new 2nd photo 1 old 1 new made oval 3rd photo an out line of them all 4th photo old sitting on top of new oval On the 3rd photo I have marked were the rib needs to be flattened out So that is what I am going for and get rid of the bolts through filter(so as to leave the radiused stub stack clear) and fit some around edge somewhere.

rogerguzzi Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello All Well I am committed now! Bashed out a bit of the ribs and drilled 5mm holes to fix front to back and I will braze some flanged nuts on the back and use flanged bolts from the front Roger ps I will braze a few tags inside to keep the filter in the right place.

rogerguzzi Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Hello All To those who may be still interested this is how I decided to locate the air filters. (a bit over engineered again!) Just some flanged nuts to braze on the back and ready for painting. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
