Although you wouldn't know it from the past few days, we have a hot
climate here.  Summer is 6 months; the other three seasons duke it out
for the remaining time.

I've been thinking about this problem with respect to the twin-SU 'B
setup.  As you know, the 'B uses shaped filter housings that start the
intake air swirling before it enters the carbie.  The front housing
opens towards the front of the car, and the rear housing towards the
rear.  If one wanted to route some ducting from the grille to these
filter openings, what would be the best way to do this?  Unstructured
musings yield the possibility of reversing the rear housing such that
both open forwards, but I just don't know...

Anybody got a cold air box on their twin-SU 'B?
