blueyedbiker Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Finger trouble again.The last problematic fail point relates to the K&N's which poke out of the side of the bonnet, the radius of the end plates is less than the required 3mm so I need a method of rounding the edges off or fitting some sort of cover, so again suggestions please.Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Could you fit foam filters for the test?these should do if you have trumpets....https://classiccarbs.co.uk/product/weberdellorto-dcoedhla-4045-twin-carbs-ramair-double-foam-air-filter-pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyedbiker Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 I did consider that but I'm thinking that the foam isn't really going to give much protection to the sharp edges of the trumpets.I'm not going to fret overmuch about this one as he pointed it out to me but forgot to add it to the official fail list so what I may do is find some 3/4 round rubber edging and superglue it on.

Wrightpayne Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Do the trumpets stick out beyond the bonnet? If within the engine bay then you’d be OK for the test with foam.I thought once you’re passed you can revert back ;-)Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueyedbiker Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 The trumpets are just within the bonnet opening but I think they could still be contacted by the 100mm sphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyedbiker Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 CCC rubber trim that's used for mudguard edges and chassis holes works OK, the wider edge needs trimming down and then neatly superglued on to the edges of the filter covers.Another one bites the dust.......
