Unfortunately my fabrication skills aint that great but I've made a cardboard airbox to get done in Alu so might have a crack at a boot box in
cardboard too and get them to do that. I wonder what the weight difference is like?

Looking good.
Just a quick point for SVA - my Inspector wants me to fit covers on the upper seat-belt mounting plates as they are to the rear of the passenger
compartment and thus need to be minimum radius or covered.
Cheers, Pewe

Did you have a brake to do such nice bends in the ally? Nice job by the way.
