<VV> Highrise air cleaner

[Chris C, Warwick RI]

Similar to the instructions here 
http://members.aol.com/ultramonzawest/highrise.htm

I used my dremmel with a cutting wheel to trim the reducer.  The reducer 
and the coupler got the height just to the point where the snorkel fit 
nicely into the air vent hole.  I used threaded rod to move the bracket 
higher.  A nut and washer on each side to allow me to adjust the 
height.  Could use threaded rod to replace the twist ties...probably when I 
am bored and decide to paint the adapters.  When I decide between orange or 
black.
