Bonnet ideas?
I need to figure out what to do to get my air filter under the bonnet. I was thinking of a normal bulge but that might make it hard to remove from the
car?
You can see the filter in the pic below abd it sticks out quite a way (about 4 - 5 inches i think).
Any ideas?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Get rid of the round dustbin that it sits in, and get a £30 cone filter from Halfrauds. This will allow you to put it in places you never dreamed
possible.... 
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

+1 Cone filter.
Also, you might want to check your headlight alignment - I'm not sure that setup would be SVA compliant...  jk

How about running a hose down to a filter mounted lower down, maybe away from the bonnet completely?
Cheers,

Just been out to look at the car and the whole inlet side up the the bend before the throttle butterfly sticks out so re routing isnt an option either

scratch built inlet plenum? I ditched the inlet plenum from my 960 engine as it was the size of a beach ball (srsly)

Hmmm, wouldn't it be nice to put an E-type bonnet on?
