Bill,
Here is a picture of the "work in progress". It is missing the final
piece that covers the filter element and transitions back to the TB. I
had a pic of the finished product, but it appears to have disappeared
from my files. I can take another tonight and send it tomorrow. I had planned to put a bypass flapper valve in the system to switch from
filtered to ram air. I still need to do that.

Ernest,
I built a filter box for my Lancair ES using a similar design
(flat-pleated filter) for Ford 5.0 HO application. Without realizing
it, I have designed in a trap to separate larger particles as you have
described. It also has a flap for ram air at higher altitudes & speeds.
I carved the mold out of blue foam, then glassed over it. Once cured, I
removed the foam. Probably not a task for the fiberglass challenged
builder, but not all that difficult to do either. Mark S. /List.html
