Goofy question

88 RX-7 NA

Can I mount the AFM 180 degrees inverted? IOW, loosen the clamp, rotate it 180 degrees, and retighten it (air will still come in and go out the same way, just upside down)

Since it's 180 degrees inverted, I *think* it should be ok, but I'll defer to you guys.

Yep, either the black plastic cover is up or the ribbed bottom is up.&nbsp Of course, Keith Irv's Dad is going to chime in and say as long as it work, it doesn't matter what position the AFM is in...

Thanks guys, the stock mounting was going to hit my radiator mounts, and I didn't want to reengineer those
