What Air Filter
I am trying to decide the best way to sort an air filiter and housing for my 2L Pinto. I have 2 carbs to chose from, I think they are the original
type fitted to the sierras, one is a weber and not 100% about the other one. They are twin choke as far as I can tell.
Once fitted to the manifold they sit about 2" below the bonnet so I am goiing to have to put a hole in to allow air filter and housing fitment I
guess.
What do you guys recommend as a best solution? Bike carbs is not an option (unless someone knows a 'free' solution) as funds are
restrictive, as always. Although I may go that route later down the line.
I can post pics later this evening if it would help.
Cheers,
JB

Do you definitely want a housing? If you're going to cut into the bonnet for air flow purposes you'll be drawing in cold air anyway so
could just use an itg-style mushroom filter on a suitable back-plate for whichever carb you choose. If you use a weber, merlin motorsport in castle
coombe will carry a suitable filter and plate but they aren't cheap!
A bird in the hand....

Going though a simular thing (1800CVH) I think I am going to have a remote filter (making an air-box) so I don't need a bonnet hole..
Simplest approach is a hole in the bonnet and suitable K and N or ITG etc filter...

I like the idea of remote filter and no hole in the bonnet 
Anyone got any ideas for making some sort of adaptor to take a remote tube and cone filter?
I'm not blessed with milling/machining tools etc and have very deep pockets and short arms

Looking for ideas two! So far the best idea I have is to make an ali one from sheet, then use one of those kits of fixing alloy casings, or get the
guys to TIG it up at work (very tempting; but have asked a lot of favours in the past!)...
