Title: Is there an adapter from 50mm TB to 58mm?
Post by: Limeytrichevy on April 03, 2018, 03:00:24 PM

Is there an adapter from 50mm TB to 58mm?

I want to use my SE carbon air filter with a new 58mm TB but understand it won’t fit.
Solutions please.

Drawing a blank on "SE carbon air filter".  Do you have a link to it you can share?

If the air cleaner mounting hole pattern and spacing of the new TB is the same as the original, you might be able to just have the center hole machined to the larger diameter.

It’s probably a regular SE filter housing but in carbon fibre. Tried to upload a pic. It it’s too big. Yea I guess a bigger hole with maybe an ally insert would work if the PCD is the same.
Thanks

Is the air cleaner the SE Ventilator Elite with carbon fiber inserts?  Or is it one of the round SE air cleaners?  If you're talking about the Ventilator, there is one in the catalog for a 58mm TB.  There were also earlier versions that came with an insert to reduce the opening from 58mm to 50mm for those who wanted to install it on a stock 50mm TB.

Look at this listing and see if it's what you have:
