Horizontal induction to nose bowl...help!

[DBeaulieu]

Mounted my AFP FM-150 fuel servo Fuel servo to cowl.jpg to the engine to start trying to figure out how to get filtered and bypass air into the servo. There is not a lot of room for a filtered air box that I can imagine. Open to hear all thoughts on how to tackle this. Thanks so much!

You have two choices as I see it: 1-cut a hole in the nose bowl and install a forward facing scoop of some sort, or 2-do as I did and install a filter canister with a side intake routed up to the baffle inlet

Mark Dickens I've seen the thread with your solution...looks very good. Virgil may have something I can use, but still waiting to hear back. I think I would prefer intake thru the nose bowl but still pondering possibilities. Appreciate your response - your workmanship and insights I've seen on this forum are always educational to me.

I think these are about 9 inches long. It would be a nice package if it fits. I am rooting for you.

Bob (forget his last name) has been doing some pretty innovative composite work for a long time. I also think he is pretty approachable. Reach out to him.

Bcone1381 Thanks for the info Brooks. Bearhawk is sending out a version of an air/filter with alternate air kit to me. Should arrive soon and then hopefully it will be the solution for me. Will post outcome.
