Let's try this one more time - I accidentally hit the wrong key on my new
"internet" keyboard and sent it before it was finished.....

Gee George, I don't think that "trick" quite describes my airbox. Maybe
"Rube Goldberg" would be more on the mark.
Seriously, I made my airbox with some sheet aluminum (sourced from local
scrap metal yard), aluminum "L" stock (from Home Depot), threaded inserts
(from Harbor Freight), pop rivets, screws, and gutter sealing caulk. I used
the "L" stock because (at the time) I did not have a metal bending brake. I
first made a mock-up of the box in cardboard and then cut the aluminum
pieces. I routed the valve cover vent into the box and used some 3" duct
hose that I sourced from Aircraft Spruce Supply to attach a K&N "universal"
air filter. The webers have short velo stacks installed. I used the caulk
on the inside of the airbox to seal any holes (at the corners).
