<VV> Individual air cleaners

[Ramon Rodriguez III]

All,

     I use exhaust adapters for my individual air cleaners...  typically I
work on grinding/filing the "bumps" on the sides of the carb until the
adapter is a nice snug fit, this leaves plenty of clearance since it's thin
walled steel.  At the top I use weatherstrip adhesive to glue the air
cleaner bases to the adapters so they don't vibrate or bounce out.

Here is a pic

 In case anyone wonders the pic was taken at night with my custom
engine
room lighting on.
