custom air filter MAF question

So as stated in an earlier thread, i forgot (slap) to install the MAF, and after thinking about it, its gonna be a pain in the ass to install a MAF to air filter conversion from that tiny square hole to the round filter cylinder.

My question is how have you guys with custom air filter setups done this?
Fabbing your own? Can you buy the conversion?

Thanks

what's a MAF?
if you're stock for 94, you have a VAFM (a.k.a. AFM).

thanks space-junk. I will agree i like to argue, but i'll go with VAFM. I just wikied it a while ago and saw MAF come up, and it makes sense. w/e idc as long as it works again. lol

I've always just gone with AFM for these mechanical meters... MAF for the newer flow-through types

either way, it still get's the point accross and most people know what you're talking about; the boys here on YT will hassel you about it though
