Reg Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Can anybody suggest a way of fitting an aircleaner to my SI which has a 2.25 SIII engine, zenith carb and spacer block. This setup leaves insufficient room to clear the bonnet using a standard aircleaner elbow. I already get vapour locking in the summer so I dont think I can dispense with the spacer . I have run a rubber and oiled foam pancake for several years but it has started to fall apart so I'm looking for a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_s Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 just out of interest, whats the spacer block made from? could you get one made up of a material that isolates the carb from the heat better? back on topic how much space above the carb do you actually have?

The spacer block is some kind of composition material, came standard on the ex army lump. The space above the carb flange is about 3". I am thinking of fitting a "power bulge in the bonnet by cutting out a rectangular piece, topped with a 3" high ally box to give me some space, this will screw up my bonnet spare wheel though.
