I am thinking of finding something like a paint tin, but something nice and clean that is the same diameter as my K&N cone.

The idea is to fix it to the cone and cut a hole in the bottom to run ducting into.

Then maybe wrap foam all round the whole thing to insulate. (it won't melt because PiperX foan doesn't melt!)

Question is can i find a suitable tin, contianer etc.......

Or should i just leave the BFO on it?

What do you recon?

Do you guys have Milo in the mother country? Malty chocolate milk stuff. That'd be perfect size for a K&N pod, I'd guess. Otherwise, just a chocolate milk powder tin.

Probably it's hitting his engine bay.

You could put bits of foam where it contacts.
