The thing that's been annoying me is the air filter disappearing into the lower air filter box, nothing to stop it sagging.
So, found a couple of pieces of square bar, lopped them to size with the grinder, zapped them into place with the Mig and job's done. Now I have an air filter that seals all the way round, and the lid is nice and firmly held in place as the spring clips actually have rubber all the way round to compress.

The filter element usually points down, how do you mount the filter now?

rut row....

but i think the bars are low enough for the filter inner edge..

That's right Mats, I mount it with the deep part facing down, it looks shallow in the photo.

its a nice solution, to a problem i can say i have never seen or occured to myself. great to see you thinking outside the square, but wouldnt it be easy to just fit a new replacement filter??

nice solution, but I have never had this problem, unless I have fitted a cheap nasty filter. The good makes of filter never sag.
