Marc,
I used the knock-off K&N filters that Moss sells (#223-230) and the full
carb spacers on the HIF's I installed on the 79B. I just had to dent the
mesh on the back filter a little to fit around the servo.

wound up buying the thinner spacers (Moss part 372-325, I believe), even
with the conical K&N filters, and then grinding the heat shield to prevent
the linkage from hanging up because of the reduced clearance.

minimum thickness that I should consider?
