Thanks Ed. There is one item that I feel I should mention. This has to
do with what happens if the filter gets wet. If you can see in the
picture, the airflow through the filter is such that the screen would
catch any of the filter element if it somehow came loose. Also, there will be a spring-loaded door that would open if the element
became clogged. Mark S.

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.
