Technical Air Filter

[Brae91]

Hey All

I Am A Noob At X1/9 As You Prob Found Out But With Help From A Haynes Manuel And You Lot I Have Leant Quite Abit....I Thank You For That

Anyway back on air box.....I Have A PiperCross Air Filter......How Do I Connect The Carb Air Cooling Fan Onto It?

Does The Fan Make Any Difference?

Cheers

You don't - simple as that; with a small aftermarket filter like that you don't really need the fan. The original large pancake used to trap rising hot air underneath creating a fairly substantial heat sink. Aftermarket filters don't suffer this problem anything like as much having a smaller surface area and made from thinner, lighter metal. That isn't to say that the cooling fan no longer has a use but it is nothing like as useful as it would be with the original housing.

If you really, really want to keep it you need to create a bracket that will support the end of the duct.
