I may be pushing my luck here. Asked three questions and got three solid =

I am preparing my TR6 for a Goodparts Stromberg tri-carb setup. I have =
had this for years (12) and finally deciding to prep it right and =
install it.

=20

Years ago when I purchased it I remember seeing a few installations =
where the stock dual airboxes (2 or 3) were modified (cut & welded) to =
make a stock looking airbox for the tri-carb setup. I have the boxes but =
cannot locate a picture of those that made this modification.

=20

Does anyone have a photo, procedures or know someone who has this =
modification on their car?

Thanks again,
