I used some metal windscreen from a hardware store once. not all of it is metal so be careful.

Not to jack this thread, but I was wondering on my 48/60, there is no lip for the filter and I don't have a lot of room where I can connect an elbow or something of that nature, so what would guys recommend I do? Can I just slide something over the while compressor housing?
