What low restriction air filter and chrome (looking) holder would fit the standard webber?

Have anyone put thermo fans on an xd to xf? Two or one? WHat price am i looking at?

In the near future i want to move the battery to the boot for more space and looks.

low restricion u could use a finer filter or k&n but thats only a replacement for the original filter. i could be wrong but i have never seen an aftermarket chrome aircleaner for the weber. it wouldnt be too hard to make. grab a chrome air filter with a small throat such as to suit a stromberg and redrill and cut out the shape to suit the weber. the top gasket of the carby makes for a good template.

i'm pretty sure a guy i know has a rectangular one probably about 8inches long and it suits a weber, its the ramflo style filter and takes the foam element.

They do make aftermarket assemblies for the weber, but not with the crankcase gas piping.

I ripped the original aircleaner assembly off my XF and fitted a 9". Redline and a couple of other places make a chrome 9" aircleaner assembly ($35) that'll bolt straight on to the 2bbl weber. Only problem you'd have is that you need to punch a hole in the base plate so that you can run the crank case gas pipe from the rocker cover back to the aircleaner. I drilled it out the hole size neccessary (25mm) and fitted it with the grommet Ford use for the piping in to the orignial aircleaner assembly. It's really easy. Just use a marker pen and have a good look at it before you start drilling (I've got two holes in mine - I started in the wrong place [hosing would have been in the way of the accelerator cable] and had to blank one of them.

For the filter fit a K & N or Redline air filter (K & N $120 odd, Redline $80). I fitted the redline filter and I'm pretty happy about it all.

If it's an XD you've got I'd imagine it's the same process, but with a stromberg baseplate.
