Firstly I made a copy of the backplate so I could make more when I messed it up 
I used the back of the original airbox as pictured. Cut the ally backplate to fit the seal (blue arrow) and attached the backplate using the threaded
inserts (red arrows).
Thanks to Alex Roebuck for the picture....too dark to photograph mine

Dont know if this is to late, but make sure you keep it well back towards the battery tray, if you dont, the filter hits the begining of the bonnet
scoop, like mine.

oh dear!! Already put it on now Will check for clearance now.
Oh CR*P! Bonnet sits on top of the whole filter!!!!! And i have a bulge! Do i just force the bonnet down on it or do i have to cut a big hole in the
scoop?

It would look tidier if you cut the sides of the scoop and raise it a couple of inches.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It might fit if i use a pipercross box filter instead of a domed one as they are alot thinner.
Anyone want to buy a new domed pipercross filter?
