Home made adapter between large K&N and stock Y-boot

[Dvsrd]

I decided that I wanted a more secure connection than having the Y-boot clamped around the filter neck, so I used a filter with a larger neck, and turned an alloy adapter. I guess the pics show what I did.

Heck yeah, get a lathe and make your own stuff. I sold a South Bend 9" for $900 I need to deliver to Tulsa so today I'll finish my glow plug puller on other cheap lathe and mill to get van ready.

Yes, I do have a lathe in my garage, a TOZ SN40B. 40" between centers, swings 28" diameter in the gap, around 18" above the bedways, 2" spindle bore.
I love it :) And one of my sons do some gunsmithing on it.

Looks good!  I got a small lathe and mill about a year ago and they have been super useful for making parts

I did the same thing with my 3D printer. I'll post the file for those who want to make one as well. If Mark can host it, then you can see what it looks like it. Made one for UNI and K&N

Nice work!  iPad can't download files. Poor me

I've been designing a bunch of parts for my bike. The cool part is that its very cheap material and the printer only cost me under 200 dollars shipped to my door. Yeah, the plastic isn't as strong as metal but for many of my applications it has been great. I've been RD350 badges and even my own dashboard display with a shift indicator.

The PLA plastic filament can be annealed and withstand temps of 160-180 degrees!!! Pretty cool.
