Default Stupid Question FG Upper intake of AU?

So what are the chances of an FG upper intake / snorkel / tube assembly how ever you say it..

The inlet from ontop of rad support to airbox.

Will it fit onto the AU airbox?

I haven't done any of this myself, so I don't know.
But I am sure I have read about it previously here on this forum;

"What may work better for these is getting a B-series airbox ... they fit from my understanding ... and the F6 lower snorkel .... which will pull clean/cold air from around your headlights in an AU XR. You'd get more benefit from this than the over-rad snorkel."

Maybe try searching amongst these;

welll i know the AU will fit the BA/BF as i'm using one ..... so . . i think the airbox side will fit on, not sure of the rad support side tho. i do know where there's some AU's/FG's that i could try it on ....... earliest would be wednesday arvo tho before i could test fit.

1. get an old plastic pipe connector, make hole to fit

2, Connect...inside

3, only hard part as the pipe blocks the screw

It was cheap and simple. You could use a larger diameter connector if you wanted to.
