Looking for a pair of plate adapters.

It ain't that simple.

You might want to read through this thread: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/wtb-weber-adapters-for-stock-air-cleaner.34626/ and determine what type of adapters you want. The commonly used adapters, from JAM, will shift your air filter rearward. Post #16 of the thread mentioned above gives sources for adapters made by Redline and LCE what will mount the air filter in the same position as stock. The problem with these is that they are designed for a filter with a 5-1/8" id hole, and the stock BMW filter has a larger hole. But that can be fixed by using chubbier O rings.

Thanks Jay;

There is a last picture on the thread that shows a bar mounted on two spacers, that may be a good solution, I have the JAM adapters on the E3 and the filter sits a bit too high, it touches the hood sound pad and has ruined it, I think this could also happen on the E9.....

Thanks again.
