if i were to replace my pancake filter with a corsa tophat with a filter on the end replacing the airbox will it be a direct and straightforward swap or will i have complications?
will the 3 screws holding the filter to the carb line up?
what will i do with the breather on the rocker?
will there be any/anymore complications i will come upon whilst fitting it?
any pictures of this done will be great
cheers

if you have 3 screws then ur engine is more than likely a carb

corsa b's were spi's. as is my nova which have 2 big screws,

only way i can think of is maybe if you want to do it custom, get some fibre resin, fill the 2 holes on the corsa tophat then re drill the 3 holes in the correct positions?

as for the breather on the rocker, it connects to the tophat, so youll need the corsa b rocker cover and the hose too,

yes it's a carb lol thats where i thought the problem would be with the tophat and me having 3 screws i did say also the pancake with the 3 screws where it bolts to the carb lol cheers again novaboi :thumb:

Joe is right, you could cut or make some adjustments to the tophat, Or just find another way of holding it down securly.

I started to think about doing it for a mate and then couldnt be arsed lol
