Title: Ideas on Gauze covers for 48 IDAs
Post by: stait9 on January 31, 2014, 18:54:30 pm
Hi everyone

I recently bought some Gauze covers from Webcom and we've trial fitted them.  They aren't working the best; they drop over the top lip of the funnel at the slightest touch.  They also look at bit shabby.
Be really interested to hear anyones thoughts or ideas on other options?

Cheers

Stuart

Here's how they look in the official picture:

Here's how they're looking at the moment - we can get them to fit around the lip but it doesn't seem very secure or the right size.  It could be the one-size fits all issue:

I have them on my IDA's as well for something like a year now.
They seem to work well for me,i have one where the "silicone" looked it bit bad as well but hasn't got a probleme with it.
I take them off sometime to place the covers up when the car is parked in the rain.
The go of and on easy,just get the first part of the lip over the edge of th stack .
Are those stock stacks on your carbs?

Henk!!!

Hey
I run them on my carbs they have two lips on the inside of the rubber ring,
You have to get the rim of your stacks between them.
It's a bit fiddley but they go on.

Thanks guys.  I think I need to double check the stacks.  We've tried the ring and lip etc but they still fall off to easily which points to the stacks, hmm.
