The main problem is going to be that depending on your air box, exhaust system etc there isn't going to be one "kit". You might need to try lots of different jets and keep the one that works best.... Alternatively places like TTS will try the different needles and just sell you the one which gave the best performance.....

Aaaar.... land ashore me hearty and get down to the 'Builders Yard' at your nearest B&Q.

Cast an olde sea dog eye at all ye olde gutter /waste pipes and accessories (cutlasses, skull and cross-bone flags, etc).

They will have everything you will ned to make a decent airbox for your fine galleon... just takes a bit of thinking, cutting, gluing, pillaging, etc!

(Sorry... it is official talk like a pirate Friday today!).

Yours for £10 posted if you want it.

Just a voice of caution. My airbox was once connected to the carbs by drainpipe bends. It turns out they go brittle over time and when a stone smashed mine it chucked bits of plastic into the carbs.

Oh, and ooooarrrrrrrr!

Aa-haar... locate some expoxy resin (my new best friend) from Davy Jones's Locker and give it a coating.

Makes the galleon much stronger and less likely to be damaged by the reef!
