K&N Bolt on kit.

[kypo]

hey, ive just got a k&n bolt on kit from a mate. i tried to remove the orginal standard air flow box off the carb, and the bolt on seems to fit on the carb ok, but is resting a bit low.

wanted to check to see if any one knew if it was ok to fit a bolt on kit like the ones here: http://cars.potn.com/default.php/cPath/2164_2282_3145?PHPSESSID=33f8b3513d175e871da762d2502eac6bhttp://cars.potn.com/default.php/cPath/2164_2282_3145?PHPSESSID=33f8b3513d175e871da762d2502eac6b onto a 1.4 MAXI. I think i need to get a piece for the bolt on to rest on so that its not fitted to close to the engine and probably a better cold air feed to the filter its self.

cheers.

nobody have any ideas? some said that i would use an adapter piece from a 57i onto the bolt on so that i get a better fit but im not sure where i can buy just an adapter and not a full induction kit.

ok for any one that is interested i managed to fix the bolt on to the carb, it isnt a 100% but its about 98% had to drill a few holes in the air filter its self so if ur think of doing it be prepaired for some DIY. ill post a pic tomorrow of the finished article

Heres a lovly image of the finished job apart from getrting a longer air feed.

some nice bodgying job on the cable here so it doesnt rub on the filter.

little question to any one that knows.

do these caps screw off or lift off? i have had mole grips and all sorts of these battery covers but i cant get them off.

they screw off hence the little handle bits for gripping while turning.....
