Re: Knecht air filter for Weber carbs?
I want to run stacks and actual filters and the price was right. It was a good compromise for me. I'll make sure to keep the lid shut when you guys are around.

Re: Knecht air filter for Weber carbs?
When you use the Precision Matters (Mainely by Design) adapter plates to mount original Knecht filters, there remains another issue. You need a hole in the bottom of the Knecht filter for each Weber jet stack to protrude upwards into. Rather than using a drill bit and scattering metal shavings/shards throughout the Knecht filters' mesh, I used a metal "nibbler" to create the holes. The edges of the holes are a bit ragged, but they work, and you can't see them when the filters are mounted on the carbs.

thank you for this infoā¦
Concerning the kit from Partsklassikā¦ it was an outstanding service from them ā¦big shout out for Renee and the team at Partsklassik - the shipment from upstate NY to Bavaria with FedEx had been faster than a shipment from Bavaria to North Rhine Westphalia.

Re: Knecht air filter for Weber carbs?
I have velocity stacks on my IDFs which gives room for carb vents. Added braised nuts to stacks which enabled the attachment of knecht filers. Very original look with Webers
