Can you share it with us?

It's available on his site, which is linked in his profile. ( solvefunction.com ) I've got one, and it seems to work quite well. Also nice on dirt roads, though it's kind of a bitch to get in there if you've got Popeye forearms.

Hi all,
Decided to share my issue resolving to the lack of cab filter in 80 series. A/C dryer was packed by all kind of things and not working properly as windows started to get foggy, not enough air flow on air duct and weird smell.
Idea for modification was taken from eastern Europe LC enthusiasts forum and put to reality. This option allows to access cabin filter from under passenger leg room. Easy to clean up or replace.
Step 1:
Carefully masured and trimmed by Dremel or Proxon AC dryer box.
Step 2:
Heated by welding fan bottom plastic. Basically just straight 90° to avoid any air gaps.
Step 3:
Installed 1" wide thin steel profile on both sides and riveted (2 rivets on each side)
Step 4:
Thread rivet in bottom pieces of plastic and 1" aluminum angle drilled for holding up the filter. Plus made a little hole and leg for one side of that angle to sit in the frame.
Step 5:
Trimmed one side of cab filter and placed in.
Filter measurements: 157mm x 135mm + 6mm(1/4") foam weather strip on top.and bottom.

I see in the 100 series there is a CAF and a thread on how-to replace it. Is there one in the 80? Yay or nay good sirs....

Lee makes one for the 80 Series, there's a bit of work to install it however, it works great. I installed mine in less than an hour. He's got a bunch of amazing things for us Cruiserheads, here's the link:

I would be inclined to do this, if you had more detailed instructions about what you pulled out and how and how you reinstalled it?
