OK I neet to make some sort of removable rain hat for my air filter before moab next week. Colorado weather in Sept can be pretty exciting, (we had snow on the pass yesterday (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) )

I have some idea's on how to box it in but wanted input from the group.

I have a GT style engine lid, and when closed I only have 1/4 inch of room between it and the air filter.

I want it removeable, because other than overnight trips away from home there is zero chance this car see's rain.

Pic so ya know what i'm talking about

Any Idea's

I run these fg hats in the rain or when I trailer the car. One of the members here makes them but I forgot his name, sorry.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

I have seen a simple sheetmetal rainguard on cone filters. Bet you could make one pretty easy with some tin snips and a couple hose clamps.
