WRC Airbox Question

The WRC Escort Airbox that houses the cone filter, will it fit in between the mirror image tank and the rear of the head light?

Been offered one of these but its quite expensive and dont want to splash out if it wont fit

Anyone?

cheers

That air box was one of the last development parts used on the M-Sport built esc wrc cars...the air filters are suprisingly large...the air box is in 3 parts with a large centre carbon adapter holding the filter....the filter was specially commisioned for that air box.....the earlier cars used a modified standard air box and a panel filter.....bigger filters are available dependant on the power...
