its not essential but i suppose it wont hurt, have you got a old hoover lol, a good mod is a bonnet vent, not a pulsar one! a subtle one facing backwards so it vents hot air out not push air in

yea i ahve at the mo. I have drilled holes in it tho. Pics attached http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=5537&page=2
Does sound good. Im not sure about a scoop. Iv tried to keep it all a bit subtle so far. think that may take it over board. May do tho. Which one would you go for?

A question about this, would the car have to be re tuned after adding one of these filters? would it run lean?

well, yes, it would.
So, your not gonna get any benefit out of it if unless you re-jet your carb.
And also, that doesnt even look like one for a K10. I know you have a weber, but the fitting isstill the same

Yeah that type for the K10 was circular, not that shape. I'm sure you could bodge it on somehow though.

Your right it is not for a Weber like what i have fitted. Speedle, it was a square with one of the corners rounded off. I knew it wouldnt just bolt on when i bought it Slim. Had a plan for it.
To make it the right shape and size:
I made a plate that sits nicely in the base, cut a hole the right size in the centre to fit it. To make sure it had a good snug fit, I put some lagging tape round the inside of the hole. Actually fixing it was a bit of a pain. I will post a pic of what i did when i get home.
For the fitting bracket:
Its a small length of 15mm copper tube, squashed in the middle with a hole drilled to accept a bolt for the top of the carb(as this is the only mounting point with a K10). Bent the tube at a 45deg angle, cut a half section of the tube about an inch long and flattened it, bent these back to horizontal with a hole in each to sit over the treads that hold the top cover on. Once the top cover is bolted on it all tightens up so none of it moves at all. Once painted black it looks like it was made for it. O the joys of being an engineer.lol
The carb I bought was Elliot’s old one and it was already set up for a K&N. So I wasn’t too worried about re-jetting. To be honest i got it for the sound, and it does sounds lovely.
If anyone would like to buy these K&N’s for theirs I could make up a guid with lots of pics, if people wanted it that is.
Cheers
