Re: CORVETTE C4 AIR CLEANER
zr-1,
Take a look at this. http://www.zr1specialist.com/HAT%20W...ucts/hoops.htm 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.

Re: CORVETTE C4 AIR CLEANER
no, not in the fitting bellows.
but inside the entrance of the air cleaner, to avoid crush, when you pull the metal collar |

Re: CORVETTE C4 AIR CLEANER
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?

Re: CORVETTE C4 AIR CLEANER
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.

Re: CORVETTE C4 AIR CLEANER
