Well, my filter project has been nothing but a circus since I received them. A quick run down...Even tho they claim a complete kit, there were no threaded rods or nuts to secure them. Found some stainless all thread in Lawton last weekend. Ordered some chrome, knurled nuts from Amazon same weekend. Supposed to arrive Tuesday.
The night I got the filters , it was late and wanted to see how they looked on it so just set them in place. Because of the way the hood opens, and the way it was cut for the old bug catcher, the rear stack needed raised. Had some el cheapo air cleaner spacers to play with to get the height needed. Needed 2” to make it work, so started looking for aluminum spacers. 2” for the rear, 1 1/2” for the front.
Tuesday comes and goes with no nuts. Thursday Amazon thinks it’s lost in the mail. Duh!! Friday they said it is. Reordered and they changed the shipping method. Said will be here this Tuesday. Still looking for spacers anyways.
Today was wet so we got off for the day. 1st time I actually got to focus on this fresh and more observant as to what was going on. Pulled the shotgun scoop back off for the hundredth time to play with the spacers again. What I failed to see before was that even tho they were close together, there was a reason. The plastic spacers are flimsy and didn’t fit the base of the stacks at all. Everything was cockeyed. Rigid aluminum would have straightened them up were they obviously (now) will not work. Got a hold of K&N and confirmed it. They need 9 1/4” centerline to centerline on the filter studs. I have 8 1/2”. Was fixing to order the spacers too.
But the nuts showed up. This is usually the story of my life. A really stupid move on my part for not paying attention to detail. So I reckon the scoop stays on. But I’m thinking 2” spacers to bring it up
