Hi Bill,

At least some of the K&N filters have holes in the "nut" on the bottom
of the can that can be used to wire tie it.  The hole can be seen in
the close up photos of the K&N HP-3001 and HP-3002 on the Summit web
site.  The HP-3001 is a replacement for the PH8A.  I'm not sure how
long the PH8A is.  You might want to look at the HP-2004 also.
