Thanks Peter. Thats a compact unit for sure. Interesting the inlet and outlet are on opposite ends. I am going to alter the original air cleaner from the donor BJ42 by relocating the inlet and changing the outlet. I will make every effort to make it look clean after powder coating to preserve the original look. I will try this approach first because it doesn't cost anything and I believe I can pull it off.

They need to be bundled into the turn signal wires before I tape up the main harness. I was looking at Merbesfields harness and noticed yours were missing. First pic shows where they are located in the harness, second one shows the sockets and wires separated from the harness so you will know what you are...
