I have a friend who is a great fabricator and I'm hoping to enlist his help so the end result doesn't look too "Rube Goldberg." I doubt K & N makes a filter of the proper dimensions but what I'm thinking about involves making a base plate out of either aluminum or lexan that is the same size as the cover plate in my photo, then coming up with a filter that sandwiches between the two. I love the "period correct" look of the open Webers but I'm concerned about the amount of grit that undoubtedly gets into them. Not a big concern when they were raced, I'm sure, as they were being continuously rebuilt, but I'd prefer not to have to tear my engine down any time soon... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I'll update you when I do some work on this project, item #4,363 on my list of "things I need to do in the garage." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
