Bellmouth Filters for LM1

Technical Big Block Tonti and Loop Frame models

Hi,
Wondering what options people used if they wanted to add filters to the open bellmouth carb inlets. I used foam air socks on a car with SU’s and belllmouths. Was thinking of fitting the same.

I did try small tapered pod filters, the washable kind (wire mesh and cotton gauze), OK except one (right side?) came up against the front edge of the side panel which was going to wear a hole in it - if memory serves I actually cut back or filed the side panel edge, was only successful up to a point.

Mine has bellmouths with wire mesh, I assume to stop large stones or small children’s fingers! :roll_eyes:

Flame arrestors, apparently. To stop backfires licking up over the fuel tank.

Thanks all. I’ll probably add the foam socks at some point’
