Buy a peice of aluminum. Measure around the widest part of your filter. Add about 2 inches to that length. Measure from the top to the end of the rubber coupler. Cut your aluminum as wide as the first measurement by the second measurement. Say 12" x 6". Then cut 3 or more strips from the aluminum about 1/2" wide by about 4 to 6 inches. Drill holes along the side that is as long as the first measurement. Rivet or use small bolts to attatch the strips so they can go from the aluminum to the tubing for the intake. Now bend the shield around the filter and bend the strips down to the tubing so that you can use a hose clamp to secure it to the tubing.
I have attached a cheap paint pic to help. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e362/bin...iltershield.jpg This post has been edited by bindertch: Jul 1, 2007 - 11:09 PM |
