This is exactly the problem I'm dealing with right now. I have dual 34 ICT's
and the only way to filter them is with the pseudo-K&N's that they came
with, because the Webers don't even have a central stud/post to bolt the
chrome/foam ones on to. I have a stock oil bath that I would really *really*
like to use for the superior cleaning aspect + the cooled air from an
outside source. The crux of the biscuit is that the Weber hex bar linkage is
in the way and no amount of finagling will find a way around it. I've
considered drilling a hole through the oil bath reservoir and welding a tube
in for the hex bar to go through,  but I'm thinking that would disrupt the
air flow and defeat the purpose of an oil bath. I've seen home fabbed, PVC
and aluminum jobbers that hook up the filters to the stock air inlet on the
apron, but I am not going there. If anyone has a better solution, I'm open
for suggestions. Thanks,

BTW-weren't there a variety of OEM air cleaners available for our cars?
Different dimensions and what not, I seem to remember seeing some or reading
there were different ones somewhere...
