need4speed Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 As per Niges upgrade, ive just purchased a Defender 300TDI air filter housing for my RV8. However. Ive just discovered that the straps i need to attach the filter housing to the block are £EEEK EACH!! Has anyone came up with a solution for securing the housing that doesnt require a sizeable personal loan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The same straps can be used from a 200tdi discovery, although they will require some modification to match the bolt holes on the Defender filter bracket. I have a set of 200tdi disco clamps you can have, but won't be back in the UK until early April. Someone on here used Quickfist clamps http://www.devon4x4.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=257&Itemid=14 After seeing them used in a build thread somewhere, I have a couple waiting to be used in conjunction with a larger Wolf air filter when time allows, they certainly look like they are up to the job. Edit: I stole the idea from Meccano http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=81634 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyWinny Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Quickfist clamps look like a good solution. I fabricated an air filter clamp using 12" perforated strip from Vehicle Wiring Products http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinestore/fasteners/fasteners.php#ps It works ok but isn't as neat.

DavidW Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I used quickfist straps to hold my MOD air filter canister to a plate I bolted to the timing cover when I swapped engines. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
