Took me forever to get mine but I could get a cad drawing done if anyone needs one.

In practice a wedge of wood actually does the job just fine, keeping the airfilter pressed firmly against its mating surfaces.
-
I posted a desperately seeking on this last year. At the time I had three bikes and no springs. Since then I managed to find a brand new one its own dirt cheap and another that was very expensive, but came with a complete bike.

A cad drawing may be useful, I may be able to get one 3D printed, im not sure how successful it will be but could be worth a shot.

I assume the 500 is the same as the later 550,
its thin springy steel,width approx 13mm,(call it 1/2")

Thanks John
It scales pretty well .

Seems as good a place as any to ask about the seal between the air filter box and the air intake plenum, not sure if that's the correct name for it. Anyway, the rubber seal on my bike, is quite hard and I was wondering where I could get a new one or if there might be a way to "rejuvenate" it?
-
Also need a spring
-
I need one as well please :)
-
Any update on this? I would like one too if possible.
-
They are in hand .
Please be patient they will be done but at the me i am completely stuffed with work

Thanks Guys
Oh I can make pieces of wood too if anyone wants one FOC, just a donation to the site please.

It will go on my 500 won't it?
S
-
Yes Steve, it all started because I wanted one for my 500
-
Did any get manufactured then?
-
Yes here they are.
When i copy something or get it made, as in this case it has to be as near as possible to the original,not just something like it.
there is a mark on this the guy has left off and i won't be sending them out until i'm happy.
Unfortunately that won't now happen until early May,sorry but i want them right.
Rich
