Looking for interesting carb rain hat ideas
I like the 911R style but I don't think it would fit my more original '69 car. Looking for something interesting?

The ones in amber composite can be a nice option.

If you have "cut outs" on top of the hat, seal them up well.
It rains a bunch up in Humble county.
About 50 years ago, after an auto X, I had parked my car on the street, forgetting that i had removed the air cleaners to do come carb tweeking. It rained that night and one or two of the 6 solexes got enough rain water down the pipe to hydrolock the engine. Pulled the plugs and spun it over, rreinstalled the plugs and i was off to school. Has anyone had HydroLocking problems with the dome shaped foam filters? chris |

Getting water in through the intakes is indeed a thing with 911s. If a car will sit out in the rain, you def. want some protection from that. Personally I wouldn't be comfortable with any filter exposed on the topside. I guess even the non watershield metal tops can be a problem if there is enough water.
