[zr-1.R1]

Good evening everyone, can you help me?
I have on my Z , AIR CLEANER damaged, near the steel band.
c4 standard pieces of them are compatible?
I put a picture

[Tony Davila]

Yes

[zr-1.R1]

ok, thank you.
when you pull the strap, there is a ring metal inside, not to do it crush?

Take a picture if you can, not really sure what you are talking about.

[zr-1.R1]

[XfireZ51]

Se voi spiegare in Italiano podarsi capisco io.

[zr-1.R1]

quando tiro la fascetta in metallo nell'accoppiamento tra i due pezzi , la parte interna si piega e si rompe .
di serie non è presente , un'anello di ferro per non farla schiacciare ?

English :

When I pull the metal strip in the coupling between the two pieces, the inside bends and breaks.
series is not present, a ring of iron to keep it from crushing?

I wrote in Italian, at the request of xfirez51, I apologize to other members of the forum.
xfirez51 have Italian origins?

[FU]

Apology not needed at all. XfireZ51 (Dominic) and I are both of Itallian origin.

[XfireZ51]

zr-1,

Take a look at this.

I thought having you describe it in Italian would make it easier for you. I was able to understand it because your explanation was more precise in Italian.
No apologies necessary especially since we are an international group.

[zr-1.R1]

no, not in the fitting bellows.
but inside the entrance of the air cleaner, to avoid crush, when you pull the metal collar

[XfireZ51]

I would suggest putting the hoop inside the air cleaner opening instead then. I'm also wondering how much you are tightening the "hose clamps". If you are tightening the clamp to keep the bellows "sliding" off the air cleaner housing, its probably because the bellows are collapsing. If you reinforce the bellows w hoops or sheet metal cone etc, you'll see it does not move because the bellows is not being pulled away. Capito?

[We Gone]

If I am reading this correctly...Where the bellows hook to the plastic air cleaner assembly it is all plastic no metal reinforcement, If you are crushing the plastic opening you are over-tightening the bellows screw band.

[zr-1.R1]

in the product standard, inside there is no frame?
or mistake.

or I'm wrong

[We Gone]

Just hard plastic.

[phrogs]

Yes no metal inside if it from the factory it's just plastic.
