Here's my attempt to mod a k&n filter from an astra gsi.
It's not as 'snug' as I would like, but that's down to me not measuring the housing properly.

All of this effort to save a few pennies doesn't seem worth it to me...

The astra filter is big enough for 2 filters, and cost me £11. At £5.50 per filter, thats a bit of a bargain if you ask me.
Each to there own though

good effort i say, but my only concern would be as the the lose of to sides where the rubber isnt, your going to by pass the filter if you dont have a good seal,
think of the needle in the straw effect it will pull air from where the least resistance is.
silicon is the solution

That's exactly why I won't be using this filter my friend, I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my bike, and with a 7mm gap I'd have to seal that with some form of sealant which doesn't float my boat.
Mainly, this was an experiment.

Do you reckon that would fit on an NC24, or are they completely different sizes?
