2.8l Pajero Airbox

Time to start on my truck. First though I need to waterproof it's lungs.
My SWB 2.8 Paj has an oval air filter that sits in abox that opens sideways. :cry:

It always leaks around the seal

Has anyone seen or heard of a replacement box that I can put in? I will make one that top opens if I have to but If I can shoot to the local reckers and grab one that would be great. Then I can chuck my Airflow up the side and it's all slop and giggles from there :twisted:

Hi,
I dont have an answer for you, and it seems no-one else does either.

Please let us know if you find a suitable airbox, as I will be comming up to this problem eventually.

My answer that I somehow knew I would have to do but was hoping not to is to grab some steel and weld up a box with a bolt down top that has a water drain, spray deflector and mount for a K&N pod filter.
The good thing about this is that it will be easy to service and clean, and I should be able to get a really good seal. Now I just have to pull finger and build the dam thing!!
I will post photos when I get some progress.
It will be such a relief not to have to drag the filter out everytime the bonet takes a splash

Viva la Pajero!!
(I'm sure french and spanish mix???)

P.S. I got some rear coils from Supralux and I know he can get some Leafs that would make your back stand up! From mem good price too.

Cool, looking forward to the pics.

My old girl is coil sprung, not leaf, the LWB exceeds were one of the few to have them.
