Yeah I ordered one of the Alloy ones too, I should receive it early next week will post some pics when After installation.
Some one on page 1 mentioned having a larger spark-plug gap and lower temp rating is this sarcasm that I didn't get? because my understanding is you want a smaller gap and higher temp rating.
An experts advice would be appreciated.
can i ask a dumd question is changing a filter an all day job or fairly straight forward looks complicated , i have a duel fuel and as it had a snorkel but got ripped i have to replace like your idea but was just wondering about changing the filter , mind you its not that easy any way is it i suppose .
robert
ps good diy job
Air filter - very easy mate. Should be clips on the side of the box, undo them, remove old filter, replace with new filter, and clip box back together ...Originally Posted by mudmav
When yours backfired did it break the air flow meter?? Regards Skidy04
no backfire ,gas is not hooked up bottle is missing no outer shroud either so no clips just bare filter with a small spacer bolting and screwed down it was just the two hoses one of which i knew was gas and had to come off to remove the filter but once it was unscrewed unbolted and the gas hose removed filter was off , noticed it badly needs an outer shroud cover whatever but thats another project roadworthy is first that stuff comes second .
but thanks for the reply.
mine just blew a big chunk of the air filter box out, and cracked the side of it, hence i love the way that the alloy one is made if you look at the side of it it has a blow back valve/plate
I am spending my children's inheritance on my 92 GQ PATROL .. and by the time they get it, it will have way to many kilometers on the clock, and it wont be worth anything
Installed yesterday. Any suggestions of where to get the right hose to connect the air box to the snorkel?
It was a bit of a sh!t fight to install as it arrived with the mountings all bent out of shape, so I could really only recommend it if you can pick it up from the company.

you can buy watertight fittings and hose/ alloy pipe that are the right size from autobarn ( elbows etc )you can get supercheap auto has them as well, they are the ones the guys use to put the fancy filters on commodores etc

they sell all sorts of different sizes and angles etc
you could also use these if you dont have the fittings to attach it to the snorkel on the guard

we used some of these to make a new duct system on my mates maverick that has a carb/gas, was very easy and were able to plum it all the way to the snorkel. his works fine and is water tight
