Re: dual snorkel air cleaner how to.
I then removed the clamped on air horn and I cut off the heat riser tube (optional) on both air horns to allow more air in and cleaned it up with a grinder and file.
I then went to the first air cleaner and cut out the flange so it could be utilized in the second base so that there would not be any gaps and look factory from the outside. I cut it 2 inches on both sides and at the bottom and top as far as I could. I drilled four 1/8th inch holes in the flange for spot welds to secure it the the air cleaner. One in each corner. I then set it aside for later.
I moved on to where I decided I would put the snorkeld on air cleaner #2 and measured it out. I used a 1 and a 1/2 inch hole saw on both ends of the measurement and a cut off wheel to connect the two. I then used to die grinder with the carbide bur to modify the opening to slip the flange from air cleaner #1 into air cleaner #2.
I then slipped the flange in from the inside of the air cleaner. I took the air horn and fitted it over the flange to make sure everything was level and symetrical to the other air horn. After I had it where I wanted it I used vise grips to secure it while I spot welded it.
