    Having minimal Solex knowledge, why is the slope front/back on the original set and front/front on the aftermarket? What is the slope for?

    Initially the Solex air cleaners didn’t have a slope. That was introduced after a little while.

    Why? I don’t know. The left part when mounted is closer to the fire wall, the right side closer to the rear lid.

    The first Solex filters, the lower ones, suffered from a lack off aircirculation inside . In order to cure that problem the filter became a bit higher. That made it necessary to introduce the slopes because it fitted better and it was easyer to take the filters off.
