K & N air filter probs


strongy

Recommended Posts

The K & N filters on my xflow are seceured by 4 cap nuts (2 per carb). These nuts tighten onto 4 long pins (for want of a better word) that pass through the centre of the air filter and sandwich the air filter between the metal K & N covers.

 

Problem- one of these pins has lost its thread and Caterham say that they don't supply these filters very much now and don't keep any misc spares. Any idea where I could get a couple of replacements.

 

Cheers

 

Strongy - I think its getting louder again 😬

Strongy - I have exactly the same problem as you. I e-mailed K&N UK to see if you can buy replacements, but apparently you can either buy an entirely new filter (casing + element) or a replacement element - no other bits.

 

Please let me know if you manage to source these bits or get it fixed. *thumbup*

Graham, If I don't have any luck with Eurocarbs and you are willing to "part with some parts", please could you bear me in mind. I am more than happy to pay for them + p&p or a donation to NtL.

 

Cheers

Looks like I need to work out how much they will cost to post..... I'll check what condition they are in. Do either of both of you need the filters, as I know one filter is damaged (pushed in by bonnet cut-out being slightly too small).

 

Just remembered - you may not want the top faces unless you take the pair as they are a pair of Arnie's old carbon fibre ones - now what should that do to the price?????

 

Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!

Graham - it's the same for me too! My elements and plates/frames are fine - I just need 1or 2 of the long bolts/pins which go the depth of the filters. I appreciate that taking these bits only is a little inconvenient for you!

 

Out of interest, what do the CF filters look like? Do you have any pics?

Sadly not ☹️

 

I insured with Adrian Flux who do not offer track day cover.

 

Egger Lawson wanted £120 + £1500 excess which I thought was a lot for 1 day. I won't risk not having insurance because with my luck I'd stuff it on the first corner. I will come down and watch though.
