Hey guys, I just installed my Front Strutt tower bar (to finish off my Front suspension upgrade) and i noticed that my K&N Crank Case Vent Filter on my rocker cover doesn't quite fit anymore, the Strut tower bar sits almost side/by/side with the Vent 'nossel', so where i had the 1.5" K&N Filter sitting, there is now only about .5" of space between the nosel and the strut bar.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any "thin" Crank Case Vent Filters that I could use in place of my current K&N ? The only other option i have is to run some kind of extension hose, or elbow joint off the rocker cover (which would look infinitely stupid unless i could find a polished aluminum elbow joint).

Anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks

Creator,
I had two thoughts , one was a braided stainless hose to the filter.
The other was to rotate that nipple so the filter will fit. Also in most
racing classes that vent hose hast to be attached to a tank. Alot
of people mount a stainless tank on firewall and tunh the hose to it.

Here is a pic of the turbo 240. The fuel rail will eventually be changed,
but look where the NISMO strut tower brace runs over the relocated
vacuum modulator.

Hrmm. Interesting. I'll look into getting a Hose to offset it, since I already tried to rotate the vent on the rocker cover, and im sure its not supposed to be rorated. I'll post pics once i have figured out whats gonna work best.
Thanks
