I know almost every member just plunked down 35 bones for a club badge, but here's something to adorn your k&n or other intake setup. i'm just gauging interest at this time, so let me know if you might be interested...

• the basic top has a channel cut to seat the filter. the edges are nicely polished to clear.
• cut to fit standard filter sizes
• basic art can be added at $5-10 more, or you supply vector art.
• custom art/design available (quote $)


clear ones might be about $15.00 each or $25.00/pair
i could have some "standard" art for a small setup/etching fee.
you could send your vector art, or creative services available.

Those are very nice! Are you going to make a bunch and then take orders ?

Will it handle a back-fire?

Been making these for my car for almost 10 years. I have used both Lexan and good old fashioned Home Depot plexi. Cut to size, add a bit of door "U" channel (bought a pile of it off of two junk yard 924's for $3) and drill for your mounting bolt.

Even if your carbs a balanced really well (no "pisst") they discolor pretty quickly. I have put 10k miles on my car since 1996 and have gone through 5 or 6 pairs. I have heard that a backfire can cause them to melt/catch fire, but I have never had any issues.

I think they look really cool - I just got lazy and put the aluminum ones back on after my last set started to stain. One thing - you absolutely have to put a rubber washer inbetween the cover and the steel washer/wing nuts - other wise they will break if you even slightly over tighten. I put small rubber fuel line over the mounting post inside the aircleaner so I knew when to stop - they flex alot.

hey, scott.

thanks for the feedback! i only use them at shine-and-shows or when i cruise the lakes & not for everyday. they can be coated (after paint if applicable) to make them more duarble against fuel/oil.
i started with home depot stock, but i couldn't get the edge polished... are yours? how did you do it? i completely agree with adding a spacer, my first set cracked too! i was going to add a nice piece if i sold them, understand too that the engraved channels eliminate some of that need.

i figured the (custom) engraving, polished edges and no running to the depot for blank stock and a band saw might interest some out there.

air-cooled-nut: they're strong. but like i said, i don't use them for much... and i fixed my backfire, so i guess i'm not entirely sure.

ian, i would have blanks on hand. i was even thinking about engraving some basic designs to have on hand, but i don't know about that yet. in any case, the blanks are technically available now.

thanks

Those are kinda cool

thanks.

Ya got them for sixes?

Not for show, but good for go.

yep, almost any filter shape for that matter.

i'd just need a filter dimension or a manufacturer/model number...
