Air Filter Upgrade Suggestions

[Guest]

You can rotate it a bit to clear the servo linkage. I have about 1/8" clearance.

I also reused the stock air filter bolts. Did you use longer bolts to compensate for the height of the stack?

I used my stock bolts. No problems yet.

I can't find my micrometer... would you happen to know the length of the stock carb bolts? M5x50 perhaps? I noticed one bolt didn't take much threading to tighten, hence my concern.

I'll have to check.

I rotated it like yours... a bit better although the tip of the servo horn still makes contact with the filter. It also appears from your photo that you're running the throttle linkage through the inner-most hole on the arm? My linkage isn't binding or contacting the filter; just trying to prevent the horn from wearing out the foam through repeated contact.

Your arm does look a little larger. The arm on mine is the 4 sided x arm with two of the sides cut off, if that makes sense. It came with the servo. I broke my two way arm drilling it out.

Makes perfect sense. I'll see if I have a smaller arm somewhere in my parts box.
