David, some time ago you showed the need for stable air for the vent that SUs slides need to work properly. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=

Have look at these ram tubes!......Where do they put the vent for the slide?

not unlike mine, and they probably did the same thing as me when I made them a couple of months ago. I bored the vent hole into the body, and drilled through the side to it, the vent hole is under the filter

they are the same profile as type 8 on page 57 of big yellow Vizard - opens up at 7* over 1.5" with 1/4" radius (ish)

I really wanted something I could mount some UniFilter socks on, the ram is a bonus...

MG rocket, It is a bit hard to see from the pics but I would think that there would be a hole something like the ones that Simon has made.
Same idea but different construction

Mine were designed to fit inside a Ramflo air filter.
