Following on from my thread on airboxes. I had a quick look on ebay to see what was available - no luck. So tried a long trawl through air filters and lo and behold I spotted a brand new pipercross filter hidden away in the listing which I picked up for half the new price - happy days :D

Cut out a backplate for it yesterday from some 2mm Alu I had left over from the floor. However it seems a bit think and when I try and fit it tight it is trying to bend the plastic lugs. I'm thinking that perhaps I should make another one from 1.2mm Alu I have from the bodywork.

My question is does anyone out there have an original backplate and if so any chance you could measure the material thickness for me?

Just been out to the garage to measure, and it's 1.5mm ali.

Cheers
