Your new accessory comes to you with a clear protective liner. This liner will help to keep your new parts clean during installation. You will be instructed when to remove the liner during the detailed installation.
This easy to install cover is a nice way to enhance the look of the factory air filter system not offered by any other manufacturer. The all stainless cover allows easy access to air filters and beautifully compliments our C6 Component 2pc Radiator Cover.
Your new cover comes to you preformed however it will be necessary to further shape the part by hand in order to achieve a nice custom fitted accessory.
1. You will notice that the new cover has two notches shaped into the front edge. These notches are designed to fit over the two gussets attached to the frame rail just in front of the air filter box. As you look at the frame rail you will also notice several attached bolt studs. It is a matter of proper installation to set the edge of the new cover in such a way that the cover will rest over the two outer bolt studs. Included with your kit is two 1 ½” x 3/16” vacuum caps. These caps need to be placed over the two outer bolt studs to offer a guide to a secure position of this cover. To install these two vacuum caps, apply a few drops of instant adhesive and firmly press them down. Ensuring that they are not only covering the bolt stud, but also further down to slide over the clip nut that the bolt stud is attached to. Keep in mind that these two caps are not to support the cover. They are to guide the cover into position. This will keep the front edge of the cover properly in place; you will need to forcibly hold the cover in this position as you strike the two setscrews that secure the cover in place. 2. Begin by removing the factory air filter box cover. This cover is easily removed by hand. NOTE: This factory cover will not be reused. Your new stainless cover has two relatively large tabs designed to slide under the air filter box assembly. Remove the protective liner just from these tabs for now and force the tabs under the air box filter. It is important that the cover fits all the way forward to the front frame rail so it will rest over the two outer stud bolts as mentioned in step one. It will be necessary to adjust the overall shape in order to achieve a nice contoured fit. Once you have achieved this placement hold the cover firmly in position as you pilot the two holes in the cover using a 1/8” drill bit. Then fasten the new cover to the air filter housing using the two washer head screws provided. Remove the remaining protective liner.
3. You have been provided with two 1” decorative chrome screw cover. These two covers contain butyl putty that will very effectively secure the covers over the two screws. Simply press them in place to finish the installation.
If any questions occur during installation, please contact American Car Craft at 727 857-1151. Thank you and enjoy your new cover. Note: Care must be taken when cleaning your cover. It is a good idea to lightly dust your cover with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any particles from scratching it. Then wipe (using a new clean soft cloth) with a good quality streak free glass cleaner. SEE ENCLOSED CARE SHEET!
