R1 Carbs, Do I Need An Air Filter ?

[Guest windscreen man]

On my c20xe i have r1 carbs, do i need an air filter or can i just use the r1 trumpets, i am asking because i am struggling for room due to my master cylinder being in the area my air filter would have been. What are my options? Thanx

Individual filter socks may use less space than the larger one piece filter, I'd personally use a filter just stops foreign bodies entering the engine.

You've got to use some form of filter may be worth a box plenum and pipe feed from a cone filter in the nose

I've done mine as above.

On a previouse car with twin webbers, I used songs sock type in two sets of two.

I have a new pair up for grabs if you want them.

I can either send them to you or bring to Stoneliegh.

Cost you a pint though.

If you want them posted, pm me your address.

Sorry. Songs means sponges. and two twin type sponges. Your welcome to them if you want them.

Must start reading before posting instead of after. Lol

I have throttle bodies with no filters, where can you buy the rubber trumpets for a reasonable price? The ones I've seen cost a fortune, any ideas please.
