If you read the post in the link from the last thread, it talks about me buying another set which I did.

What I did different this time was:

I made sure the carb rim which the K&N fits to was completely clean.

I also bought wider SS clamps that were virtually the same width as the rubber on the Filter.

The next part was crucial. When fitting the new filters you need to ensure they are pushed as far onto the carb rim as possile. The mistake I made the first time I fitted the older ones with the less wide clamps was, the permanent indention wasn't as far onto the carb rim as possible making it much easier for the clamp to in effect, tighten off the rim.

That's why the first imprint needs to be with a wider clamp where it's not possible for it to be anywhere other than on the entire area of the pod filter's rubber.
