How To's

Make Your Pete Air Filters ‘Strapless’

Remove top of breather and filter element, after loosening mirror bracket and folding it back…DO NOT TAKE CANISTER OFF TRUCK

Mark inside of canister to indicate which side of truck it goes on. This one is for the passenger side.

Layout on inside of canister where exterior mounting saddle is located for drilling purposes

Measure from top of canister down to where each strap is located.

Mark these measurements on INSIDE of canister measuring from top lip.

With a small 3/16” drill bit, drill the marked holes inside the can through saddle and all - (note we use a small air line on our bit to protect the cowling and prevent the bit from going too deep)

Once all pilot holes are drilled, remove canister and straps

Ream holes in canister out to 3/8” or 1/2” your choice

Ream holes in saddle bracket on truck to match canister

We roll a peice of 1/8” smooth aluminum 8"x10” to fit the radius of the canister on the inside

Aluminum should fit like this inside the canister; this acts as a big washer and prevents the bolts from pulling through the thin can

Mark aluminum positioning for future reference

Holding aluminum in place inside the can, mark holes through can onto aluminum

Drill marked holes in aluminum to match can and saddle

Re-assemble, fold mirror bracket back and tighten, wipe it off, stand back and admire your work!!!!
