Good work, how easy was it to fit?

Leave it as it is. You can use a bit of ducting to supply warm air to the filter in winter to stop carb icing if it runs rough in winter.

Ok cheers buddy. Oh another quick question, The small round bit attached to the arm of the circle filter which conects to the hole has a small round bit on it with a red pipe, Is this a meter? And where do i connect that pipe from the new filter too?

Everything you have done there looks spot on mate - The hot air/exhaust feed isn't really needed because SPI engines sort their self out

Just seen that how easy was it bit, It was straight foward mate. Took about 20 minutes. I had to make up pipes ect. If you have all the bits pre-made will take less then 5 minutes :thumb:
