Subject: [FOT] Air filter ("socks"?) for carb air horns?
My GT6, running twin SUs, has this very nice pair of aluminum air
horns/stacks. I've been running them open, but am concerned about the
amount of grit in a typical track environment. They end about 1" off
the inside fender, so there is no room for an air box or traditional
filters.
Anyone aware of a product (foam/fabric) designed to fit over these, or
should I just run cheesecloth with a ziptie?
