Quick fix needed
I've lost one of the trumpet socks off the carbs, don't think I can buy another one locally so will have to order off t'internet and
get it posted, trouble is we're sprinting the car at Woodbridge tomorrow.
So in the best Apollo 13 tradition, how can I make something temporary to protect the carb with just the stuff I can find in the garage or house.

Aluminium gauze?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Couple of pairs of tigths zip tied over works fine, flows enough air through while maintaining decent filtration - the only thing I would worry about
is larger stones/pebbles going straight through
A bird in the hand....

Tights can cause a significant restriction if you simply stretch them over the trumpet - the filtration area is a small fraction of even a filter sock
which aren't very good to start with.
If you can find some reticulated foam you could make your own temporary filter sock, glue it together with contact adhesive and oil it to provide some
dust retention.

Unless it's dry and dusty I'd be tempted to run with open trumpets for a couple of sprint runs. Anything temporary is unlikely to filter
very well, and is almost certain to restrict flow.
