Alan, Yes. The broken bracket is at the root of the problem, I think.
A while ago, my engine mounts were going bad,and the engine was shaking. The bracket likely broke then, and I also replaced the round airfilter mounts a couple of times. I replaced the engine mounts,but the air filter has gotten worse, and the u shaped hose falls off regularly. The Y-bracket is very expensive, and I have not been able to locate one in the junkyards here in MD.
Soooo just wanting to replace the whole setup with a simple "universal' filter with just hose connections at either end. And wondering if there is a drawback. I myself don't like to tinker with the MB setup, as originally designed, but I think this new filter would be an improvement, at least in maintenance. But I don't want to create another problem,which someone here may know more of.
Thanks
Manjeet
