Default R53 Air-Intake Question

Does anyone have the top half of their airbox handy - thinking of those who have fitted the Dave.F air-filter?

I'm after getting a rough dimension of the height of the flange on the clean air outlet, from the top of the flange to the top of the outside of the outlet pipe.

If someone could help me out, i'd appreciate it. Mine's on the car and I can't get to it right now.

Thanks

Fed up with this pipe coming off, it's happened three times now and it's been done up so tight that it's distorted the pipe on the dave F and i'm not getting a good seal any more. Work are machining me up an aluminium "top-hat" collar insert which will sit inside the dave F and there will be a flange machined into it to grip onto the recess moulded in the pipe.

Do you just want my airbox top? Then maybe you can modify it so the Dave F mods are included/fitted...

No thanks Joe, I've got my original one still. I've had a good look at how the Dave F is made and this seems to be the only option. Thanks for the offer though.
