   cheers lads , ive already been on both of them but cant any individual sock ones for the size i need(prob not looked hard enough).
   ron thats what i was originally after so the air temp sensor could have been siliconed in but the farm say they are expensive and use socks and cable tie the sensor

   A sausage filter with a backplate is a better option. Really all depends how much clearance you have from bulkhead and what bodies you are using.
