how do I clamp/fix it in position? it has a sturdy clamp to fix/hold the flexi onto the filter and the neck of the cone doesn't go much further back than the clamp(2-4mm).
Here's one for the Locost masses..... I need/want to fit my air filter in the space shown, it has a flexi pipe attached between it and the MAF
sensor that you can see. this puts some pressure on the cone so it won't stay where I want it to on its own accord.

something like mine on my f20c would be good i think

I'm not sure what you mean!? Its just a way of mounting the filter I need not another one
^that does look nice though but fitting it in a small chassis might be another thing.
i was meaning the solid link pipe wit a jubilee at each end!
that way it cant move the filter as its not flexible.

Goes under the big jubilee clip. Simples

How about a bracket that goes between the clamp & the outside of the flexi hose so the one clamp does two jobs? The bracket could extend down & bolt to the plate the filter is sitting on.
I've just got back from the garage having just made something similar! I used 2 L shaped bits of ally and riveted them to each side of the clamp
and it works a treat.
Glad to see my 'fix' was what people suggested
Great minds and all that!
lockwire around the neck?
what about another bit of alloy sheet (or 2) with a hole in it for the pipe

Get a bit of small thin tubing and remove the bolt that goes through the jubilee clip that clamps the hose on, replace the bolt with a much longer one
that goes through the jubilee clip, then the new tube and into the ali plate that the filter is sitting on, (the tube is acting like a big spacer) a
nut on the other side. Should be enough?
Would also put a couple of holes in the vertical L shaped bit of ali so a bit of wire or cable tie can go around the end of the filter, this would
stop it rotating on the bolt mentioned above.
