Default MAF adapter trouble
Hi!

In order to fit a large air filter, i've bought a MAF adapter S13.

I's like this one:



It doesn't fit properly.

Any idea? Cheers.

thats one just to fit the s13 (although they are meant to be the same unit) the one you wanted has slightly slotted holes, you could try slotting the holes to make it fit.

why dont it fit, is it the four mounting bolts???

use AE 86 one, re-drilled/oblonged the hole to fit. then use RTV gasket maker.
