Kolb Folks,



I have a K&N filter on my carb, mounted horizontal (see photo). Last summer someone mentioned I may get better performance by turning the filter 90 deg. into the windstream and going with the conical-style K&N filter common to the 912's. I have been looking long and hard for a 90 deg adapter or boot, but have not located one. I could fab one up, but would rather find one already made if I can. Anyone out there know a source for such an animal? 



Thanks -

PVC, ruber hose, and hose clamps.



Or, go to a parts store.  Ask if you can go behind the counter and look for 

a radiator hose that has the correct size and bend you are looking for. 

That is how I obtained most of the coolant hoses for my 912.

Thanks - that's so obvious, I'm embarrassed I made the post.

   There are several companies on eBay the sell intercooler tubing kits.  Some of these companies also sell the individual parts C....like the silicone 90 degree elbows.  If you do a intercooler tubing search on eBay C you can find these outfits.

  

   I have many of the aluminum tubes and silicone fitting left over from my turbocharger installation.

  

   BTW C the clamps that came with my kit were almost certified aircraft quality!!  Surprisingly nice stuff!

  

   Exactly what size tubing or elbow are you looking for?  I may have it in my left over box.  I have lots of thinwall 2" tubes and several silicone fittings.

Mike, 



I need a 2" i.d. elbow. If it's thin wall material, the K&N filter will probably stretch over it without having to use a reducer. I'll email you off-line to follow up, and thanks for the offer.
