SU carb conversion and Air filter box?
Hello everyone. It's been a while, hope you're all ok.
I've finally done a very exciting thing I've been meaning to do for years: I've changed the single Stromberg carb for single SU HIF44, off a Mini 1275. It's an absolute transformation, I'm so happy! I've always been an SU man so I'm biased, but it's really remarkable the difference. I wish I'd done this 10 years ago... However, my choice of air filter was limited and I ended up with a Fletcher cone filter. It looks a bit boy-racery, and it makes a silly hissing sound which masks the lovely new throaty sound from the engine. I'm wondering if it would help if I got a box made to house it, with a hose inlet to reach for cool air from the front. Has anyone done anything similar that I could copy? Thanks, Andy.
