If it's the same K&N filter that I'm running, once you get this mounted on top of the carb, you should be able to pull up on the base and tighten down the top and that 1/4" almost disappears and it goes away with a little compression / adjustment.

I love my K&N filter.   :love4:

Ok... I'm probably running the 3" version which would have it sitting a little more flush.
