Air Intake Cowl

[Stewart]

Does anyone Know of an air intake cowl that would cover my K&N filter

[Guest kevinflyingpeanut]

Looking at the position, the compound curves, and stainless steel , i would entrust this to a specialist fabrication shop specializing in s/s, perhaps someone from the club in your area could oblige with some contacts. If not I could recommend a top fab shop in Brighouse .

What a let down,surely someone has fitted a bonnet cowl over a K&N filter

If a plastic one will do then its easy all you need is a steady hand and some good stainless steel blades on your angry grinder, oh and plenty of masking tape incase you slip!

Going to be very difficult with those curves, I doubt any off the shelf version will fit. You could buy a plastic version and cut down to size, or my preferred option would be to make a fibre-glass version specific to your needs.

Westfield used to make one from fibre glass as I had one one the SE kit I started many years ago. I doubt they still have the moulds but may be worth a call.

If it was me doing it, I'd start off by getting myself a big polished stainless steel wok or a shallow stainless roasting tin.

 

I'd cut in in half so it was open at the back (or front) to let the air in and then I'd get the tin snips out and trim it so it matched the bonnet profile. Bit of small chrome edge trim around the cut adges and rivetted on with a couple of tabs underneath.

I'd leave it as it is, water ingress may be an issue but only a minor one (my carb stuck out like that for many miles in the rain and was fine when properly oiled). Any attempt at a scoop is likely to end up looking like an eyesore, speaking of sore eyes you ought to cover the occupants faces

im with alfa.. don't bother. its not gonna get that wet. id be worried about the peppering your face will take more than the filter.
