Was thinking of that too. But I think i need one on the side too, for the carbs to get more air.

I'd go with the first option, but cut to fit round one of those mahoosive pipercross airfilters sticking out the side of the bonnet!

Already have one of those airfilters but the carbs sit low down, and i have a very short inlet manifold so don't think this is a option.

another with holes, can't find a close up at the moment but the spacing of the hole lines up with the carb spacing
and a more recent one
edited to add the other pic
PS - the wing mirrors have now been changed!
