Lowering the EFI vellum chamber?
I had a look at RHOCAR´s old site with buildtips how to lower the EFI chamber.
But what I can´t figure out is how he did it without welding. Anyone here got a clue?

it looks like hes blocked the holes in the side of the plenum and re drilled/cut ones in the bottom to allow it to sit on a shortend inlet manifold.
Maybe liberal use of selftapping screws and sealant!
hes wanting to sell the kits though so the instructions would be rather vague!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

I have actually done this on my old car but in stead of using said self tappers i had an engineering company up the road weld the two bits together. I
cost me £40.00 but the resulting job was rock solid. I used self tapers and some ally plate to blank off the cut holes pretty much as in the picture
at http://www.rhocar.org.uk/buildtipz/024.shtml
I do have a spare cut down unwelded chamber if you want it. Let me know and i will post some pictures.
Cheers

Hi Jonte
i have put some pics on my web site at http://www.daxrush.org/Robin%20Hood.htm I didnt use vellum
because i got the angle of the chamber slightly wrong. It would have meant moving the holes on the vellum for it to fit into my Robin Hood...Still all
good experience.
I hope you find the pics informative
Cheers
Julian

A different approach

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Call me mister picky but isn't it a "Plenum" Chamber?

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
