Hello all. Seeking refuge from the searing hot sun I tinkered in my garage yesterday afternoon. I wanted to fit a shiny chrome-plated air filter box (tube?) off a Morgan Plus 8 which I acquired off ebay. The two extensions on the underside are welded on, unlike the bolt-on pieces on the original Rover P6 air filter. They're too short, so don't reach the studs extending up from the intake manifold. Anybody got a cunning suggestion as to how I can raise the studs about 2 cm?
Will it affect the carburettion now that the intake nose between the carbs is about twice as large as the restrictive snout on the original airbox? The paper filters (brand new) are thicker than the ones I have used before as well.
I wanted to polish up the dashpots to complement the shiny air filter. Five of the retaining screws came off no problem, but one is very tight indeed and the 'groove' for the screwdriver head is damaged, opened right up, so I can't get a proper purchase without the screwdriver slipping out. How do I get this pesky screw out? One shiny dashpot and one dull lustreless dashpot just won't do!
