nikgurn Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 So I finally got around to putting the Weber on my '86 Brat that has been sitting in my room for 4 weeks and I can't close the hood! Car runs great, but the hood makes solid contact with my shiny new chrome filter...did I do something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 do you have the short or tall airfilter version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikgurn Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Of course. Good thing I checked into that before I put this thing on 200 miles away from my house. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikgurn Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 BTW thanks, and Merry Christmas! PS, if anyone has a shorter element and would like to trade for the taller one let PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Just latch it with the safety latch and dont drive fast . But seriously i know what you mean. I did the swap..went to close my hood and...DOH. Didnt close. The 2.5 inch filter is nice for lifted rigs where the engine is farther down than a stock rig. They also work in Gen 1s i believe but otherwise your going to be looking at the shorter filter. Where did you buy the weber from? If you bought it from overseas (bigjim), he should send ya a new one for free. If not then your on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikgurn Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yeah I bought it from my brother; he works at CarQuest and gets a little butt hurt when I purchase parts elsewhere. At least he gets me a decent price. Suppose I will just hold onto it cause I am planning the lift and 2.2 swap this spring/summer (I am going to go carb style, wires hate me.)

Markus56 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I fit the tall filter without any clearance issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm pretty sure I have the low profile version in my spares kit. I don't need to trade but would sell the shorter one for $10 plus postage. If you're interested let me know by PM and I'll check on it.
