intake adaptor
OK, I've contacted a bunch of steel tubing companies and they cant help me. Maybe your good people can.
I need to make an adaptor plate. One end will bolt to the air flow sensor(intake) and the other will be a tube that the pod air filter will attach to. I want the tube to be around 84mm outside diameter. I was going to make it from aluminium but they only seem to make 80mm and 100mm. Any ideas? |
easy.
Hi why dont you just roll some sheet into a tube the right diameter. i do it all the time when making adaptors ect .
hope this helps oz.:3DSMILE: |
Hi Cameron,
If you're not up to doing it yourself then go and see Sean Mullins at Sean Mullins Race Cars, Fact 5 97-101 Bayfield Rd, Bayswater (9720-5473). Sean has a reputation for being an excellent fabricator and welder and specialises in Aluminium. It's probably worth the trip out there just to see the cars in his shed. I think he is there Saturday mornings but ring first to check. Cheers, Adrian. |
Cameron,
Where are you running the air intake hose - through the wheel arch? Mine is set up that way - consists of a 90 degree aluminium casting off the air flow meter into the wheel arch with a flexi (corrugated) tube connected to the pod at the front of the rad (stuck onto the rad housing using blue-tac) - never fallen off:3DSMILE: |
Thanks for the help guys.
Hi Peter, yes I'm running duct through the wheel arch and putting the pod behing the brake cooling duct/headlight. The area will then be sealed off. |
Hi Cameron
I have seen a picture of what I think you are modifying. The best place as Adrian S has said is to try a speciality race car builder or a manufacture of hot rod speciality "bits". Hubby used the standard buy off the shelf rubber intake. Hope you find what you are looking for. Cheers Lyn M Hope this pic works.........not quite sure how you do it! :( |
