cone filter question? Please Help!
I just installed a cone filter in my 87 na 7. The only thing that bothers me is that it is just sitting there and there is nothing holding it in place. I imagine when I go over any bumps it will be all over the place. Is this how everyone else has it installed? Or have you made some kind of brace? Please help!! Thanks George

I made a brace for mine. Not a very good one and I don't have any pics, sorry. But I just used some parts that I picked up from the hardware store. Just some steel strips with holes in em and some wire to hold it. Could just bolt the strips onto the AFM or where ever and straight to the old mounting spots for the factory airbox. I couldn't because the store didn't have thin enough strips of metal.

i just got a new k&n filter from my local store for 37 bucks. pretty dang good. i put it on the hks adapter thing i just bought too, and it was so long that it ended up resting on something. so no more zip ties for me

The HKS adapter is at www.k2rd.com it sells for like 25 bucks.
I just used wire to tie it to something close , nice quick fix. no ties needed.

aahh I have a adapter plate. What I was hoping for was something that would secure the filter in its place so it wouldn't keep bouncing around. Hopefully I will be able to rig something together today.
Thanks

i used zip ties for about 6 months untill i got tired of looking at it so i bent up a little metal bracked outa some aluminum my dad had laying around.. works pretty good and took me about an hour total to construct it.

Ractice heat shield with HKS adapter
I got a brace for mine that I modified just a little by drilling 3 holes and grinding a curve in it from Lowe's. Its pretty sturdy and mounts to one of the factory airbox holes with the bolt. I should have pics of it tomorrow.
