Hi,

Could anyone help with how to fit an air cleaner support bracket? We have recently purchased a support bracket as we realised ours was missing.

We tried to fit it as per photos we found on the internet and pictures in the manual however it results in the carburetor trumpet holes not lining up with the trumpets. Are there different lengths of brackets for different engines / models? Or are we fitting incorrectly? Please see photos attached.

Thank you,

Shelley

Two different sizes are implied by https://ricambilanciafulvia.it/en/?s=Bracket+air+filter&post_type=product&lang=en ignoring the replica item so it seems possible you have the wrong size.  Huh?

That suggests a difference between S1 and later models but I'll let folk far more knowledgeable than me comment!  Smiley

Just one other observation...
On my S2 the box goes on first then the trumpets. The implication from your pics is that you're trying to put the trumpets on first.
Could this result in the bracket then not lining up? Probably a red herring but worth a note.

To be honest, we are not sure of anything!

This was my Dad's Lancia that I inherited in 2019 after he passed away. The car had been in his garage for 40 years and we decided to have it restored, as per his wishes and keep it. The Lancia has just come out of a three year restoration at a 'local-ish' garage and apparently this was the first Fulvia that they had restored.

It is possible that things are not correct (we have had other things go wrong).

If we fit the airbox in the way you have suggested,, would this mean we need a gasket between the carburetor and the airbox and then another between the airbox and the trumpets?

Thank you again! Help is very much appreciated

Refer to this post and pic that confirms trumpets go in the box:
https://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1850.15

Yes there should be a gasket between box and carb inlets. Actually two identical gaskets like:
https://shop.omicron.uk.com/products/gasket-carb-to-air-cleaner

No gaskets needed for trumpets inside box ... but a gasket should be present where the two halves of the air box join.

I think you have the correct support strap but as Scott says the air box goes on first then the trumpets inside.

This is the page from the parts book, but does not show the trumpets in side from the other side, but shows the airbox to carb gaskets.
