Need help with F1A air filter set up

Have the F1A installed along with aster 8 rib set up but having some clearance issues. I called Bob at Brute speed but I haven’t been able to get a hold of him just yet. Does anyone have any experience with this set up? I’m thinking of cutting the radiator shroud but still not sure that enough space for the tubing to clear to route the air filter any suggestions???

It should clear with the truck hat but then the standard inlet hat should clear as well with an F-1A. Bob

Move the radiator into the ac channel (recommend) With a F1A you can for sure get a truck inlet on there. I bought one from Bob for my F1C plus built one of my one with a Spectre fabricated 60 (shortest radius bend I could find) as a start. Put a regular radius Spectre 90 onto that rolled to the drivers side then a filter.

One day I got careless pulling into my driveway straight on and too fast, ruined all three pieces. Then I put the truck intake back on until I built another one.

Now I'm converting to a Precision 76/75 Huron AC T4 kit and 4L80 because apparently I have a wire loose or maybe a dozen!
