Moving filters to bulkhead

[Blu3R]

I've got a pair of the brackets to relocate the air filters to the bulkhead but I'm not sure where/how to mount them. If I drill into the body (which i'd really rather not do) how do I get to the holes from the cabin side?
Are there any other brackets available so you don't need to drill the body at all?

bond a bracket to the bulk head i u can use rivnuts, but its just as easy to drill the holes and use domed head bolts through the cabin under the carpet material.

Heres how we did it







Hope this gives you some ideas

Barry it was your car I remember seeing and thinking I'd like to copy. Are any of those parts available to buy, or were they 1 offs?
I'm interested in the tapered boost pipe too

That's good, how do the filters attach to the car? Or are they just mounted to the pipes and the pipes fixed somewhere?
That kit isn't on their website either.

I will take some better photos later this week so you can see fixing ect, they were all ready on the car when I purchased it ,so not sure who supplied but I will have a look through the receipts it should be there.

e mail [e-mail] I think he can re produce the pipes but the brackets for the filters were a bit one off. It was a proper job though. Im sure with the car he could do it for you.

On mine both filters sit at exactly the same angle and postion left to right so as they work equally.Im not sure about some of these conversions where the filters sit at odd angles left to right side ?

Why do you think Noble moved them ?

It was probably easier and cheaper to locate them after they made the move to put them next to the intercooler.Cost cutting?

because air drawn through the intercooler box filters is cooler than ones mounted at the front and it was believed very little air enters the window scoops.

its been debated at length as to which location is actually best and whether noble made the right decision..... regardless mine is at the front

[Slider21]

Sounds better at the front

A bit like this.

Only if you have an intercooler with Magic end tanks,has this been done before ?

everything downstream is unequal so an odd angle here or there is unlikely to have any affect at all.

Agreed but no point adding to the unequal problem at the start when you can avoid it ?

Guys please lets not get into that argument again. I don't really care which is best, I just want some aural pleasure

In that case just go out and buy Cher Lloyds album
