K&N for Weber 32/34DMTL - 3 screws or 4?

[Junglist]

i just sold a K&N I had fitted to my Weber but the buyer says it's the wrong one. He said the hole's the wrong size and it should have 4 screw fixings not 3. I thought the Weber was a direct replacement for the Pooburg and so it should fit the same filter hole. He's saying otherwise. Who's right?

I thought he might be mistaken which model Weber he has but he says he's had an expert confirm it's a 32/34DMTL. I'm confused because both the Webers I bought were sold to me as this model and fitted the standard air filter and had 3 filter fixing points. Also, both the K&Ns i have bought in my time were sold to me as being for this model Weber and have both had 3 fixings and standard filter size aperture.

Who's right and who's wrong? Or are there different size Weber 32/34DMTLs?

there is a rubber gasket with 4 holes though, does he mean that?

which 3 screws do you mean? (on a circular ring, or under neithe the carb or which, where!!!

See the pics in James Butlers post about doing the head gasket, are they any use?

It's where the filter goes on the carb, the 3 screws in a circle. It was a filter i sold him. He's sending it back to me for a refund, it's philano off here.

the 3 screws screw into the top of the weber then the k&n goes over the 3 screws and then bolts on to the weber

Yeah that's how mine is. So there is only one type of 32/34DMTL Weber then for definite? So he's definitely wrong, he must have a different model? Cheers people. Thought i was going mad for a minute.

have a look at this, kindly supplied by funkydiver. Part no 18, the air box adaptor, fits to the Weber body with 4 screws that are part 19. I would have thought that the K&N used the same 4 fixing points? Anyway, I need a K&N for my Weber. I'll pm you and perhaps we could arrange something?

[Funky Diver]

Definitely 3 screws.

So i'm thinking, looking at that picture, that the part with 3 screw holes for the filter is an adapter that presumably philano hasn't got on his weber, which is why he has 4 screw holes. Everyone else i've spoken to meanwhile has this adapter fitted to theirs as the Weber 32 /34DMTL generaXlly comes with it already on. Am i right with that deduction or completely barking up the wrong tree?

Correctomundo.

So he does have a 32/34 after all and so do i and neither of us are wrong and i'm not going mad! Thanks everyone. I'll let him know.

If one of those is the one i swapped (not sold) with you for a standard airbox, at no point did i say it would fit a Webber, in fact i said it was off a standard Pierburg. Just wanted to clear that fact up.

Makes no difference now anyway, problem solved. Cheers though!
