if real CF, used a jigsaw (very carefully) and a file. 10mm drill bit for the holes.

The measurements would be handy !
Do you mean a `box with an angled inlet (to get it inside the bonnet ?)

yeah
the external diameter of each of the inlets is 46.8mm, so i reckon if you made the internal diameter of the step at the bottom of the trumpet 47mm
they should be a snug fit, also the bottom stepped part needs to be about an inch long.

Looking good Alex.
Stick with a foam filter....will flow much better than an airbox with a single small inlet.

yeah i know mate but the air temperature that the sensor is reading on MS says 45 odd degrees, so the airbox that claire can make fits over the top of
the pipercross filter and an then you just run a pipe down into the nose cone to get some nice fresh air into the box rather than having hot air
sucked in
