Help to ID this K&N

I posted this a few weeks ago and didn't get an answer, then I couldn't find it to bump.

Does anyone recognize what these Watershield bases fit? They have been bored out and are much larger than the standard Weber 40 IDA/IDT mounting pattern.

Thanks in advance.
Sherwood

Sherwood,
The holes have been bored out so much that the original mounting holes are no longer there. The holes were originally about 46mm. I can almost guarantee that those used to be mine and were sold with a set of plastic RS stacks. The buyer had them on a RS spec motor for sale on Rennlist a few years ago.

Did you not see my response to the original post?

Paul

Hi Paul,
Yes, I did see your answer, then I couldn't find the thread afterwards.

So these fit an RS MFI? I didn't realize the intakes were different from a regular S engine. That right?

Thanks.
Sherwood

Sherwood,
The RS intakes are the same as the 2.4 S.

This setup would only work if you duplitcated what i did. The holes are so big now, they wont fit on anything else.

That plate orginally mounted between the carb/early MFI intake and the veocity stacks. Since the S/RS intakes have molded velocity stacks, i had to mount the plate on TOP of everything. Since the top of the stack is larger than the bottom it was made to fit, i bored out the hole as to not be restrictive.

Cheers,
Paul
