here's my attempt to keep the hot air away from the cone :






i made a cardoard template first , then got a bit of alloy sheet from B and Q, cut and bent a bit and split some fuel hose down the middle to finish off the rough edges.

it might help a bit in the warmer weather

 

Looks good mate 8)

I am planning on doing something similar but taking it a stage further and boxing in the top of the filter, with a hole below the boonet vent and fitting a mini scoop to draw cold air directly into the new airbox!

Did the filter feel noticable cooler after a run???

 

How many place's have you bolted that down from?

 

filter doesn't really feel cooler - but i have a mini scoop as well.

probably help in the summer more.

bolted down in 2 places Sam.
