round ac cover on an 88
I've got what I believe is the SE round K&N ac on the scoot now with the stock football cover. The filter element itself says " for use with TC 88 cover only" What would stop me from putting on a round 8" cover?

If you're talking cover 29138-91, you need PN 29591-99; it's a sponge stick-on gasket to space the a/c out so you can screw it on snug without wrecking the screw hole

RE: round ac cover on an 88
The reason you need to use a gasket of some sort is to keep the round cover from vibrating and cracking the center out of your element. Been there. Done that......Twice. The first time itcracked and I fixed the crack with some JB Weld. Not long after, it cracked again in a different spot. It only took about 2k miles to do it the first time. After learning that lesson, I put a couple of rubber washers on the bolt and use some 1/4" foam weather stripping on the rubber gasket on the front of the element to act as a cushion.
