Difference in intake diameters
Im looking at a filter which has an ID of 80mm. The AFM adapter has an OD of 76.2mm. That makes a 3.8mm difference. Will it fit properly with that much of a gap? Thanks.

You could try neatly wrapping electrical insulation tape around the outside of the adaptor to build up a 2mm thick layer. That'll bring the 76mm OD up to the required 80mm. I know it sounds a a bit dodgy but it will work and you won't see it.
