Housing ideal for Kwik Filter??
I got a ideal to help shield the Kwik mod from engine compartment heat,I'm taking a thickwall plastic black tote, Cutting it down using only the bottom,side,and end, So i end up with a three sided inside corner of the tote,
Take some measurments with the filter on and for hole location,Then i will take the filler off for the outside housing measurment, and for a good fit. Trim off the cut edge of the tote with door edge guard or 3/8" rubber hose. Put her all back together and see if there is any change. If anyone as anything to add ,please
pipe in. Once i make one, I'll take some pics. Good day!

Sounds like you are on the right track. I would start with a cardboard box, cut and modify until you have the general shape you are looking for use a little duct tape to seal to the fender wells and drive it for awhile. If the cardboard prototype works then go onto final plastic fabrication. Heck, I may just try a little experimenting myself. Good luck and Happy New Year.

If I'd have known half the things before I spent money, that I know now from this forum, I'd have saved myself enough to have that 6-position switch by now. I'd like to get some sort of housing made, so please keep us posted on your results.

You'll need to upload the pictures to your gallery here on FTE.
To do so, click on "user CP" at the top of this page, then click on "edit gallery" then click "creat album" fill in all the necessary info, then at the bottom click "browse" and it will take you to your computer so you can select the pics you want. When you have them all ready, click "upload" and your set.
Then you can just copy and paste into a post, or put a link to your gallery.
Good luck!
