i made mine out of an old K&N one of an old escort/cortina  just made and drilled a base plate to suit  ,,SIMPLE,S,,,,,,,   ;)

i take it thats a bolt on and go jobbie

yes

cool. how much does that filter stick out from the carb?

that carb looks a bit differant from mine

give or take a few mm 60mm
its a standard carb with the water jacket cut off the manifold and carb turned 180 deg

thank anyway mate but was gonna keep my set up and just fit a filter

pan cake air filter, accuspark are selling the on flea bay for hs2 carbs about £7.50  ;)

nice but i take it i will need to mod my carb to make it fit

have you got the su carb?? if so it will be hs2 and the filter will fit. if youve got limeted space and the carb still faces inward toward the engine you could go for a 32mm cone filter, but to be honest if the carb hasnt been rotated 180 degrees stick with the stock as  anything other than stock would suck all warm air off the engine and preformace would drop considerably

Iv got a cone filter on at the mo. it sits above my rocker box

yeah i ditch it personally or rotate the heated manifold. with only 40hp you want them all ;)  is it a trike or car??

It's a trike mate

rotate the heated manifold its a five minuite job  then you can use either pancake or cone and suck lovley clean cold air ;)

Sounds good mate but im a numbnuts with reliant lumps as this is the 1st one iv had soooooo how do I rotate it

It mounts on 2 studs. Take it off, turn it round, bolt it back on. Easy.  :)

as andy said. and theres no need run the heated manifold so redirect the pipe work if you want it to look tidier, first water pump spout to thermostat housing 2nd water pump spout to back of of the cylinder head.  8)

as u can see i dont have a lot of room to play with

if it fits that way it will fit rotated ;)

Naa. The frame slopes down. Not enough room

im with you, alot of use that build custom frames build around the engine and mount the tank fairly close to the rocker cover to get a good clean flowing look, this then means in some cases that the carb wont fit on the heated manifold as it sits to close to the tank. so we then make a costom carb to manifold adaptor, i only did mine yestarday(can post pics the camras on the blink) but i basically drew around the two gaskets that mount either side of the heated manifold cut them out in mild steel. then used a 90degree stainless bend cut it to fit how i needed ,welded the plates on each end. bobs your uncle, its the cheepest and simpleist way. for the plates is better to use stainless aswell but im heat spraying mine black so mild will do the job as the fuel flows through the stainless bend? hope this helps.
