The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
Mine is fine mate, as expected.
Mocked up my assembly tonight, tomorrow's job is to fit it all and then measure up for the bracket.
Mocked the filter assembly up earlier, and cut a piece of carboard as a prototype bracket, then marked the hole centres where I needed them and finally measured the bracket and made a drawing for the machine shop at work:
I'm going to take the P clip to work too and grib the two flats in a vice with soft jaws, this should make them meet each other better without damaging the P clip!
Monday morning I will order the stainless steel and nuts, bolts and plastic or rubber washers needed

why dont you bend the top tab up less than 90 degrees, maybe another 5 or 10 degrees and bend the top one down past vertical to about 5 degrees then its sure to meet , I think
Stainless steel ordered today, should be here tomorrow and so bracket should get made this week sometime.
This bracket will be my prototype, and I need to check with the mods / admins first but I'm thinking about getting another 10 or 20 laser cut, then inlcuding a P clip, stainless nuts and bolts and plastic or rubber washers and offering it as a "Cone Filter mounting Kit". Cost is going to be minimal and non profitable, probably between £15-£25.
As I said, need to check with mods and also interest

May be a silly question, but when you use the coupler and joiner as mentioned earlier in the thread, they both also need to be 80mm for an LCR i take it?
Thanks
Thanks
Im tempted about swapping for an open cone from my forced viper kit............... dont like the idea of excess rain, leaves & small animals being sucked up!
But the Jetex doesnt come with any mounting supports?! Where did you obtain that "P" clip, good idea tho!!
On a side note then, would there be any harm in disconnecting the intake pipe on the filter end of my closed cone and leave it "there" so the airs being forced in rather than sucked?
Thanks all

Yep, I got a short bit of silicone hose with an internal diameter of 80mm which connects to the MAF and the alloy joiner, both have an external diameter of 80mm. The filter neck also has an internal 80mm diameter. Seemples
Mine just came as a filter and a big jubilee clip to secure it to the MAF (or in my case the alloy joiner). At the moment my filter is just kinda wedged in with the rubber end cap against the inside of the nearside wing. Seems stable enough there and the previous owner said that's all he did with it so that's good enough for me for the moment. If I find a better solution I'll do that tho but I've checked it after each spirited drive for the last while and it's never moved yet.
Not sure what your intake looks like... Can you post a pic?
Eugh photobucket is down at the moment so i cant post a big picture
Its in my little avatar pic if youve got VERY good eyesight or a magnifying glass! Or on here is pretty much the same set up as me:

So yours is litterly just wedged?! hummm, least it sits there happily I guess I do alot of track days so will make up something like George has done then if you all think its not good to simply disconnect the intake pipe from the filter.

Stainless steel finally turned up yesterday so I've put it into the machine shop and it should done sometime between now and Monday. I've also ordered some stainless screws and nuts as well as an assortment of stainless and rubber washers, so it shouldn't be long before I can have a fiddle and mock up and decide on the final set up.

I have been reading all your comments on the Jetex Induction Kit. I currently have a K&N on my LCR at the moment but it is getting very old...( had it for about 7 years now, modifying it to fit different cars I owned ). Anyhoo, I looked on Jetex website and they gave me the closest stockist to where I live, so I went down to this stockists and they quoted me "about" £95...does this quote sound fair ???
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks HallycupraR...stupid question comng now.....how do i get in touch with Bill ?
If folks want the FC08001 versions, and want a fixing point in the end, I will add an M6 stud to the centre of the filter so you can attached it via suitable small bracket then. As an option if you want it.
filter with the stud would be £52 from the £48 without to cover the time and bits I need to add to it.

Bracket was made today, so after finishing work I got straight on fitting the Jetex.
First impressions is the noise, it's incredibly loud, as soon as the car is making any amount of boost the filter can be heard, some noises it makes I like, some I don't. At the moment I'm undecided about it, I'm not 100% keen on the idea of open cones anyway, even with a cold air feed. I'm going to keep it on for the meanwhile, first job is to loose the Mikalor clamps and replace them with jubilee clips. Not only are they ugly and overkill for induction hosing, but they are so strong I can easily see myself over tightening the clip on the MAF end and breaking it.
