    I will be running a 392 hemi w/a weiand 2 x 4brl manifold toped with edelbrocks. I am wanting to run a "helment" style air filter housing or "dog dish" style, but the carbs sit a little too close together for many of the units that are out there.
    BUT, I could swear that I have seen this combo before. Any help refreshing my memory or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Pics would be a big bonus.

    Thanks

    Harley Twin-Cam ('97-02 I believe) used a nice oval air filter that works for dual quad setups. You have to work up a base, but the pretty side looks okay! Best part is, there are scads of these things just laying around at Harley shops, ask nice and you might get a free pair. I believe they're $50/ea if you buy them new.

    Here's what ya do...get the Helmet air cleaners you want, and either (A) cut out the base hole and offset it...or (B) just make new bases, using a simple hammer form outta plywood.....:D

    [​IMG]these air cleaner lips overlapped so i just spaced up the rear air cleaner so the lips would clear.
