Based on comments from @barbagris and @charlie farley on another thread about RamAir testing a new improved design for the throttle body rubber mounts, I just contacted RamAir to check when the new design is available for ordering.
Ryan from RamAir confirms that all new TR-111 filters are manufactured using the new tooling.
I'm not affiliated with RamAir in any way, but I think it's the best commercially available air filter that fits under the bear claw. The only thing that has been holding me back are some reports of the original base plate design cracking. Sounds like this issue should be addressed by the redesign, and I just put in my order. I'll post pictures of the updated rubber mounts once Royal Mail finds it way to California.
The RamAir rep called this an improvement in the design to make the fitment easier. Be that as it may, it sounds like there will be no recall of the existing filters. However, I hear RamAir has replaced any failed filter of the original design, and now they've listened to our feedback and designed improved rubber mounts. Given the low sales volume of any R3 parts, that's pretty good service in my books so I'm happy to support them.
