CHESTNUTXE 7,641 Posted June 1, 2020 some have clamps on the base and some dont,cant remember if its xd or xe that don't have clamps 1 gregaust reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,641 Posted June 1, 2020 next is my usa 400 air cleaner ,the base is similar to our xa xb xc but the lid is sunk around the centre bolt which is great for my xf bonnet clearance about 1cm deeper than the one i used when getting my modplate which was xd lid,it also did not fit as snug as the matching 400 lid. 2 1 deankxf, gregaust and gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deankxf 20,904 Posted August 16, 2020 does the mesh filter breather thing clip in to that. or is it for vacuum lines clip? been a long time since i've seen a stock clevo 1 dvfalcon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvfalcon 368 Posted August 16, 2020 Chestnut Not to sure whether to weld up or not, where do you get your wing nuts from to hold on the lid? 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,641 Posted August 16, 2020 just cut to size ,but usualy on e bay 3 inch comes with nut,then trim if too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,875 Posted August 16, 2020 Nah it's where a plastic clip goes that holds the vacuum line for the hot air snorkel actuator. That vac line goes off to a ported vacuum switch, probably on the thermostat housing.Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 4 deankxf, bear351c, SPArKy_Dave and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 9,295 Posted August 16, 2020 That square hole is for a plastic clip, which holds the vacuum lines running to the valve. edit - gerg beat me to it... I concur with the above. 3 CHESTNUTXE, gerg and deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
