Is this just too bootiefab?

[CruisinGA]

Those that read my P/S pump mounting saga know that much of my immediate issue stems from the fact that I have clearance issues with the F aircleaner. Well, I decided to see if I could find a temporary (read CHEAP) solution to get me through this weekend. I think I found it.

This is the aircleaner off my '01 Honda ATV. It is a snug fit inside the carb, and when the hood is closed it just snugs up against the top of it, holding it down.

Should I be concerned about the valvecover vent? That is the only thing aside from my york that won't have a connection anymore... I could get a tee and plumb it with the PCV vent in the carb plenum, or would that be a worse idea?

I don't have much concern that it will breathe enough air, most of this weekend will be spent in low range.

I am going to try to get it to fit over the mouth of the carb so i can run a hose clamp around it just to feel better, don't think i really need to though. I am also going to make a little internal cage of wire (like it has on the ATV) to keep it from collapsing on itself under high vacuum.

Remember this is just temporary bootiefab. The truck is not getting me anywhere, only trail riding this weekend.

I just don't want to fawk anything up. Its not the end of the world if it won't work, I just won't run with P/S.

Definitely worth at least an honorable bootie mention.
You should be able to find something cooler at the local pick-N-pull. How about a 2F AC to go with your valve cover?

Ghetto fablous.

Should work but I wouldn't romp on it trying to get over an obstical.

Would be fun to see the fab that would come from the F engine/intake/carb to the 2F air cleaner...

I make a PS Pump mount that fits under my F air cleaner. I used the stock alternator mount and made a bracket to fit the pump to the mount. I got a 78 alternator mount and moved my alt to the passenger side.

Hey now Steve
If I decide to go the 2F A/C route, Degnol has offered to make me an adapter, so it would not be so booty.

At list I recognize the booty-ness.

I feel like I should add a disclaimer or something to protect the integrity of my rep as a wrench (if there is anything left to protect)

Charlie- The two routes I could take would be to run a 2F aircleaner with the Wdorry's P/S bracket, or to modify Mark's bracket and use the F aircleaner. I'm leaning towards modifying marks bracket. Not a big fan of the 2F aircleaner.

On Thursday I'm checkin out all the cheap ricer s*** at the local parts houses in Little Mexico-maybe I can find some blue LED flashes-with-the-music aircleaner

Seriously I am open to suggestions-searched all over the internet cheap parts places, couldn't find anything less bootiefab.

and this is not

Thats clean Toyo- Mark's bracket replaces the lower alternator mount, my only problem with it is that it requires the front groove, and my other shiz needs that one. Nothin Mr Miller can't help out with.

My alternator and York have been on the PS of the motor for well over a year in anticipation of P/S.

I've seen the mounts where the alt and the p/s pump share the same belt

 

[CruisinGA]

That is what I would be doing right now, if the york did not sit so high.

That filter rig needs to be mounted atop a snorkle so everyone can enjoy it!! Nice look.

 

[CruisinGA]

Hah, yeah. I could just drill a hole in the hood and attach a PVC pipe spacer to it...
