Mesh Installation for High Density Mesh between intake and battery box:

The mesh is going onto an adapter that is circular and 4 inches in diameter. By placing the mesh onto the exterior of the circular ring and making it flush (by bending parts of the wire mesh) and keeping them in place with materials like zip ties, the mesh will be in correct position. Once in correct position, remove zip ties and place 4 inch duct over circular part of the adapter. Use the stainless steel duct clamps that comes with the duct and secure both the duct and the flushed out mesh by tightening the clamp screw. If the clamp is not strong enough to make sure the mesh is secure 100%, either use automotive goop or double sided foam tape to secure the mesh onto the circular ring of the adapter before placing the duct over it. 


Mesh Installation for Low Density Mesh at the front of the Car

The mesh installation process for the lower density mesh will probably follow the same process as the high density one. However, if the mesh is attached onto the other side (not the circular portion), the attachment process will most likely differ. The same process of using something like zip ties to keep the mesh flush onto the adapter will happen, but whether being done on the interior or exterior of the adapter is to be decided. If done on the interior, the airflow may be negatively affected. If done on exterior, the mesh may be exposed to natural conditions and might affect the durability of the mesh. As things stand currently, adding the mesh flush on the exterior of the adapter seems like the best decision. If done like this, automotive goop adhesive to keep the mesh in place will work effectively (main concern is to make sure adhesive cures fully so that it cannot break apart due to wind/other conditions).
