First guess.......ports from a sub box?
EDIT: from speakers?
Ummmm....they look familiar?!
Are they the right shape to optimise smooth airflow?

Don't look very trumpety to me, just a straight pipe with a radius on the end?
They do look just like the plastic ports you can buy for making ported speaker enclosures.

no prize sorry i am all out of medals
i will find out if they melt as soon as i can get the car started (the way i am going will probably be next year)i dont think they will but as they
only cost £8 i wont worry if they do.

I think they look good. As Soggy says it not a race engine (obviously being a CVH!) so who cares and anyway the shape looks good to me.
How many bike carbs are running without bellmouths? - most I think. What he must do though is fit an airbox / filter arrangement.

yep, look really good, nice lateral thinking on that one!!!!!
Any radius is better than none, so for £8 you won't do much better!!!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

On my R1 carbs I have used weber 40 ram pipes that I got for a fiver from Stoneleigh.
I have cut them down and they fit adeally on the end of my carbs with some hose and jubilees and sit nicely inside my airbox.
Sorted!!
These look just as good though if tehy dont melt.
Summer's here!!!!
