Been there, but could not see which thingy is used for uploading.
As I said before - I am either too stupid or possibly blind.....sorry.

Thank you !

Ralf - you want some ITG type filters (not thos terrible individual sock things - they will choke the life out of it).

Like these

jellison · 31 Mar 2011, 14:36 (Ref:2856387)

They do a corved filter cover to ala the DFV's from the 70's and 80's. Have one on my twin carb TR4.

Can supply the red covers for either 40 or 45 DCOE's -- have not come across a situation where using dual or triple carbs has proved to be a problem.........

R D P · 31 Mar 2011, 17:55 (Ref:2856453)

I am not sure if I will put a filter on - at the moment I´ll leave it as is without.

Now - I have decided, that I will make the cork option. I quite like the idea !
And - additionally I will also make the aluminium version, also easy to do.

Thank you all again for your ideas !

Ralf

I would always run an air cleaner, one trip into the gravel trap and that engine could be toast. Is it worth the low few BHP you will gain plus the wear and tear from dust etc.

R D P · 1 Apr 2011, 08:09 (Ref:2856679)

Al - it is a very sensible recommendation, indeed.
Problem is space...I would not want to cut the bodywork, it is awfully tight !

jellison · 1 Apr 2011, 08:24 (Ref:2856686)

Ralf - you need the curved ITG's

R D P · 1 Apr 2011, 08:27 (Ref:2856688)

Guess I´ll go down and do some measurements !

R D P · 3 Apr 2011, 17:21 (Ref:2858118)

I guess it might get a bit tight in there with filters...

terence · 4 Apr 2011, 04:57 (Ref:2858360)

Being in such a confined evironment,dont think I'd bother restricting them any further Ralf.

Al Weyman · 4 Apr 2011, 07:07 (Ref:2858385)

Would shorter trumpets and an airbox with a piped intake into the airstream help? That could be filtered at the intake.

jellison · 4 Apr 2011, 07:17 (Ref:2858392)

seems od for a single seater of that age for them to not be poking out into free air, shorter pipes and the curved ITG I'm sure would fit - but they need to be having air able to get to them!!

R D P · 4 Apr 2011, 08:07 (Ref:2858410)

The 20 was very streamlined and lowline - all is original as intended by Chapman etc.

I have also not seen any different setup at other 20 s, also no other air ducting or similar.

So, I will leave that for the moment.

But - my corks have just arrived....

jellison · 4 Apr 2011, 08:10 (Ref:2858411)

Not sure Chapman really knew what he was doing

R D P · 4 Apr 2011, 08:13 (Ref:2858414)

It´s a 20 - not a 30 !

morninggents · 4 Apr 2011, 08:24 (Ref:2858415)

....... or a 40! Didn't somebody once say that the 40 was the based on a 30 but with 10 more mistakes?

Certainly not two of CCs best concepts.

terence · 4 Apr 2011, 13:43 (Ref:2858578)

The 40 wasn't a favorite of Jack Sears if I remember correctly.

R D P · 5 Apr 2011, 16:58 (Ref:2859257)

Done !

SAMD · 5 Apr 2011, 18:22 (Ref:2859296)

I think that photo should be on Picture Captions.

R D P · 5 Apr 2011, 18:33 (Ref:2859303)

Mike Bell · 5 Apr 2011, 18:50 (Ref:2859308)

They will tone down with age, stink of stale petrol and look completely original after a while.

jellison · 6 Apr 2011, 07:06 (Ref:2859487)

You are gonna struggle getting much air in with those there.
