I believe the instructions for this are part of the filtered air box instructions. You'd mangle it up pretty good with a drill press. I used a rasor blade to notch the filter. Then put a wad of RTV in the notch and reassemble, let cure, trim as needed.
(Jonjay on some carb setups the a part on the bottom of carb protrudes beneath the alum plate and into the rubber ring around the K&N filter, you need to notch the ring and sort of seal it to the bottom of the carb. True, special care should be taken when fabricating this so RTV is not ingested, recommend follow Vans instructions)
Hi yall.
Im looking at replacing the K&N filter and was wondering how you did the carb cutout/hole.
I was thinking I would use my drill press and eat as much away as possible and use RTV to create the right size and seal.
anyway.
any advice would be awesome.
thanks

This is what I was looking for. So, notch filter with razor blade, use RTV to seal gaps and re-assemble. Then disassemble when cured and trim to fit.
Anyone have the vans instructions handy?
thanks!
