Airbox Fixing
I'm going to try and do an airbox like the MNR design, wedge shaped as my first big TIG project once I've sharpened my skill sup a bit
more and I find somewhere to buy the ally.
I've seena couple of them fitted on here but I've never understood how they've been secured. Has anyone got one and can they explain
a bit more or take a picture of how it's been fitted to the carbs?
Thanks

you can use the carbs airbox rubbers or on mine i have cut the holes the same size as the throttle bodies and pressed them on and siliconed them to
make a good seal

Well there's no rubbers fixing the carbs to the airbox. The carb 'trumpets' are screwed onto the carbs and sandwich a plate
inbetween them. This plate has a recess all around and the airbox has a lip that sits in it and has 2 rubber bungs in the top so you can place a bolt
through and screw it onto the plate. I can't really discard this plate as it has recesses in it to allow air to feed the carbs.
If that all makes sense?

It's a MAC box sorry.
See this thread. Just seen that Matt has been on the site today though he doesn't seem to post anymore.

I think its a matter iof taking the plate and rubbers of the TB's.
Fit it to the bottom of the air box.
Secure with the 5 screws built in the air box.
Shove it back on the TB's and secure with the original clamps.
Hope this helps.

Ah. Matt you're a star thanks loads.
Unfortunately my carb plate thing is completely different to that so all your past posting make sense now.
I'll have to figure something out.
Thanks again.
