Yup, that's what I'd do....purely so it doesn't shake the carb to bits!

interesting--- i did plane not to bolt the K & n directly to the crab but fab a suitable length of wide bore tube long enough to put the filter under the seat .petefarrell360 wrote:Adam is or was running a K & N in his own housing, to overcome the problems. I'd be interested to know exactly what age this GLT is please and what the prefix is on the plate.
Cheers,
Pete
But how much this will effect carb performance is only a guess to me

A lack of warm air for the carb can lead to carb icing, but I've yet to find this to be a problem with my sidedrafts which have no warm air intake. The other issue is that the carb should be re-jetted, or any (marginal, anyway) performance gain is negated.

Might be worth mentioning that the 1.4 is quite a spirited little engine. It looks tiny and sounds like a sewing machine, but whilst the lack of torque is noticeable it does pull quite nicely if you give it the revs.foggyjames wrote:Yes. 1.4, quite a lot smaller, 1.7 not so much. Both are smaller though.
Ahhhh Mr C --- this had crossed my mind as i have had a chat with a geezer at work, so thats why i need a 340 and nothing bigger. do you wanna go halves on REDLINES motor ???? - you can have the body and interior i have the rest !!!!!!Cornholio wrote:Might be worth mentioning that the 1.4 is quite a spirited little engine.

ok, im now thinking i could possibly put the pan thingy under the rear bench seat, this could make it a bit more enclosed
