As for the airbox Very nice Im sure you could sell them How easy is it to manufacture? Looks an art. Tell us the secrets Good to see one off items like that top job.

Cheers Pablo
If you want carbon scoops and dont want to cut and alter too much try this website....costs though: -

ReVerie | Online Shop

I decided to cut and chop and glue...I would mould, but thats a skill I never learned...

The airbox is not too hard to make, as its all cut and glue and seal... however, I have to wait till my engine is back from the shop.. (just waiting for cams from the factory) then mount it into the frame to locate the mounting holes and fit the battery box which I will also make. Obviously the important bit is to make sure the carb inlet nozzles line up. I have measured the original box as carefully as possible and used the plastic base of the box on mine, so the inlet nozzles are right..

But I am the sort of fella that can mentally design and picture something pretty complex without having to draw it down, and the end product is usually 90 percent like my original idea... but I measure 20 times and still cut the barsteward wrong!!
