HELP- remove 1979 KTM air filter

[jon]

I have a hard time getting the bolt thru the cage/filteron my 1979 KTM 420. The air box is small and the bolt isn't perfectly straight. Also my air-filter cage and cage cover are very brittle any after-market one's. I'm sure I just not doing something right.Thanks frog

They went to a tapered filter to help in 80 or 81 but I have no idea where to find one!

I have an spare air filter box & cage from a 1981 495, but I do not believe it will work on your 79.  My airbox was only for the 1981 125's & the 495's.
