Nova now back of the road after the summer.
Managed to do a massive 447 miles in it this year!!!
Last trip out was to John Toovey to sort a small running issue out. Weather was awful & as it never goes out in the rain i was gutted, but it needed to go before tax ran out.
Drive back it was 100times better but still needs a rolling road session to get it 100% perfect.
Was following a truck on way back covering car with dirty water. All i could think about was that dirt going through bonnet scoop & sucked into my engine as i never ran filters.
Quick call to Jenvey me thinks & this arrived

Small problem. Throttle linkage rubbing in backing plate & seized it up. Call again to Jenvey.
Apparently how i have set my linkage most people cut that bit off apparently. Trust me to use it that way.
Options, buy some spacers at £20 each x 4 plus delivery or cut a slot on backplate to allow free movement of linkage. Didnt fancy spending another £100 so went for slot option.
Today drill & Dremmel came out

Excellent as always Martin

Looking good, cover/filter makes it look very tidy.

All trial fitted & seems ok
Need to take the filter backing plate back off & get it sprayed up properly so it looks 'nice'

Glad you sorted a backing plate out mate, never seen one thats dished like that, perfect though for your rail issue etc, looks spot on!

Nice to see a different air filter than ITG!
So why the decision to go with the shorter rams?
When I had mine mapped, we tried all kinds of lengths and the difference was quite significant... with torque especially....

Don't think he's changed them Will, just the back plate is dished/concaved so that it comes up the trumpets more, so he's got round the fuel rail issue, think i right in saying this?

As Scott said just the back plate
-
Oh yeah I know that - I just wondered why he had the shorter rams.
If anything you could run even longer ones with that air box...
