Hi Drew,

Check out my archive, i think there is a couple of pics

So you just turned it round did you have to cut the holes to get them to fit and how did you get it to seal back up?

Nope all you do is cut out all 4 holes as 1 piece, turn the airbox 180o and glue/bolt back into place.

A quick note also, make a small bracket to the chassis where the mounting hole is. I didn't and when mine got wrote off the airbox and carbs flew off the engine.

Jas the car is looking very nice

Thanks John

Drew, i did cheat a bit as i had a spare airbox to play with

I used the same stuff to bond the airbox parts together as i used on the floor of the chassis, tiger seal polyurethane.

Any plans of another build John?

Drew, looked for the rubber seals, but i remember now the reason i used the original airbox bottom as the new airbox didnt have the seals with it, sorry mate!

Ive got a airbox top half spare!
