Now on the drivers side behind the mount, theres a kinda dip. With my air pipe on your couldn't see it, but it was untidy and would pool up with water. We all know that isn't good... So i wanted to fix that as there will be no air pipe over the top...

Out with the CAD.



Lots of trimming and messing about later...





Now before someone says it, yes there is a small gap right by the mount. But this will be fixed when the engine is out as i need space to get in there more.



Under this plate, i've also tagged the back on the mont to the chassis leg. Just for added strength.

Then i use this, i use it on the under side of my metal work, then over the top too. Helps with rust/bare metal and that.




Next on to my hole... hehe

I've welded the seam above and below, for added strength.



Tube to be welded in, was a lil small, so had to add a bit of width.





While welding in...



Got a bit more angle on the pipe too.



I've tidied the front panel up too.

Great work bud, looking forward to seeing the finished article!

[Benn]

Me too.
I've picked up some flexi tube so my wing vent finally does something, then will feed the box the filter will be housed in. Then the extra air from the front will be good. Well i hope.

Cheers Si.

I'd feel bad chopping up nice paint, but I know it doesn't phase you! New changes are going to make it even better, have I missed how you are waterproofing the AFM if it needs it?

[Benn]

Needs a must... afm and filter will be boxed in to be kept dry, with two air feeds.

I got a lot of time for metal work. Benn might I recommend Vactan for steel
