induction kit/air filter

[R.J]

Alright, so i have bought a cone air filter for my 03 1.2 Clio, had a look at the air box and realised that the the intake is a rectangle not a tube. after doing some research i think what i need is a conversion/adapter plate to go over the rectangle and have a tube coming out of that. like the setup in this picture (http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/7606/inductionkitpolished29al.jpg) But i cannot find anyone on eBay selling only the adapter plate.

Only thing i can find is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-N-57i-I...rParts_SM&fits=Model:Clio&hash=item1e60eeb712 but i already have everything on there other than that adapter plate.

Anyone know where i can get one? Is there an easier way of doing this?

(P.S i know the air filter is going to do f**k all performance wise but its a 1.2, just want to make the noise a little nicer! )

Any help would be great!

Silver tape and bodge it, obvs not the best thing to do but just bodged a cone filer on a corsa b and its still on after weeks of abuse
Failing that then hunting down a bit like whats in that kit but on its own is probs the only other way, unless you have the resources to make an adapter plate yourself.

haha oh yes. all about the noise! yeah i was talking to a mate at work and he thinks we can make on pretty easily. only thing difficult about it will be cutting the 3inch hole in a metal plate. Sure i will find a way though. Im an apprentice in an engineering factory after all, this should be easy!

thanks for the help though

Almost as much as a Hand Brake turn would

ah right. perfect man to ask then. how thick do you think i need this plate to be? i was thinking 4-5mm would be enough?

It only has to stop stuff getting in the intake and convert from a square to a hole, and wont be holding much weight either, 3mm ali would be perfect.
