Ok, you have the later and more user friendly metering head, however you choice of filter is going to make life difficult, ive got a K&N and i can just squeeze it in and it pushes the lip over ever so slightly, you filter is a lot larger than mine however.

You could remove the post and block the hole with a screw if you are very keen on having that filter..........

If you remove the post YOU MUST block the hole by other means, the early ones have a screw in, whether its threaded or not i dont know, nothing saying u couldnt tap it though

I'd recommned re-fitting the post for adjustments, the early metering heads were a nightmare because unblocking the hole made an air leak therefore affecting the emissions results, so the post allows adjustment without air leaks.

Will take a few seconds to swap over
