Fitted my cone filter today

[vwgtiking]

Fitted my universal cone filter today. All seems ok.

I have a few queries. When I fitted it with all the air box removed the filter when fitted seems to flop to the chassis. I refitted the bottom part of the air box and cable tied around the maf to the box to help support. It's a bit crap looking. Any ideas on how I can hold it up/support it??

I have used the oem heatshield. Again, I cabled tied it around the tip and a hard metal pipe. Not happy with it but it's holding. Any ideas on either fitting the oem heatshield or how to even build one myself.

Any how here's a pic, seems to be quite cool with my current layout.

how about bending a strip of metal bolting this to the engine bay and cable tie the filter to the bracket??
