mark_smugglers Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I’m just fitting the radiator shroud on my 1972 pi Where should the two air intake hoses that are the input to the air filter be mounted? I’m unclear whether the two intakes should be pointing towards the grill (say) or up into the engine bay. Moss show a retaining clip but it’s unclear to me what it should be attached to.

Waldi Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi Mark, there was a recent post about this, less than a month ago I think. Cheers, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yarm 783 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I know it’s correct, but I still can’t quite fathom the position of the hoses, especially give the issues around getting enough air to 5 and 6. You would have thought some ram would help. I have shortened mine by 5 inch’s or so and left them above that lower aperture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long gone on mine and my filter housing has been rotated 180 degrees to pick up cold air from alongside the driver's side mudguard' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 How did you fix the filter Mike, wouldn't that have moved the fixing plate that attached to the radiators and strut to the opposite side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, the filter's on the same side as the inlet manifold , fixed with a clamp on the base of the filter to the radiator frame. The brace strut goes over it. I don't have a photo down here and the car is garaged 100 odd miles away. I'll take a photo when I can get out of this CV19 lockdown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the way my filter housing is mounted. It gives the engine access to clean, dense air in the front, RH corner of the engine bay. No changes to the fixing plate were required.

Yarm 783 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Ah, so you have rotated the filter can through 180degrees, thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
