Air box set ups!

[Jordi]

As said. Anyone running non original engines and carbs how have we bodged it all together? Photos preferred.

Mainly looking for SU setups as my £5 cone filter has finally died.

Cheers

I thought I had a picture of my old set up but I cant find it

I don't have an air box but I'm going to make one to surround my filter.

I'm just looking for ideas to fit my snorkel to.

[ScottieJ]

My plan is to build a sealed box around my filter with an exit that goes through my bulkhead and up out of the scuttle: if I can fit that with my cage? If not it will have to go through my bonnet and all have to disconnect the snorkel every time I open it

The one i have is the usualy tube up the window type, i'm tempted just to put a hole in the bulkhead and have it suck air from the cab.

Thats how the one on the SJ is and it seems to work fine. No pipes to rip off, no holes in wings and panels, no chance of it sucking water in through the top!

Twiss didnt look hard enough this is his old set up!



Crappy picture as im not going out in the garage!



but the bottom pipe in the right comes down from the side of my wing inside then goes into the bottom of the airbox all sealed with mastic then more solid pipe work from the top it it into the plenum chamber .

Thanks tom! Yeah that worked quite well, saved a lot of space, so I will definitely get another one, even if it is rather chavtastic

What filter is that in the top pic?

Very similar to the ram air Twiss mentioned earlier.

same as that black one just slightly smaller.
