Izzy,

Do you know if Per-Form have a UK/European version or what's the best of the Euro filters that you've played with.

Rgds,

Rob

You can make a cheaper substitute for the K&N by using a plain 
filter, JB Weld and your favorite sized nut.  If you want safety 
wire, use a castle nut and JB Weld the wire to the inside through the 
castle.  Saves about $4 per filter for me (using Perf-Form by the case)

17mm Castle nuts run me about 30 cents each, and the JB weld is about 
$2 for enough to do a case of filters.

Also, I think the Perf-Form filters are better than the K&N.  Their 
media is about 10% bigger.  Both use the same type of media, the poly 
fiber stuff which filters well, better than paper.  If you go through 
a lot of filters, might be a good plan.
