Airbox?
I've got twin 45's fitted to my engine, and am finding it very difficult to find air filters that fit between the bonnet and chassis rails
So I was thinking of fitting an air box to the carbs, and ducting cold air into the box from near the front shock. Does anyone know anything about
doing this? Or have any ideas / suggestions?
Where would I be able to fit an air filter with this set up?
Anyone done it?
Cheers

You could try Tim D. I think he still has the mould as shown here : http://www.just-the-one.net/ under products / airbox.

Thanks for that, looks just the job 
Does anyone know where you put the air filter with such a setup?
I've borrowed this picture from the website, hope he doesn't mind.

You have a cone filter which goes on the end of the pipe.

BUT I want the end of the pipe outside of the body work thats the whole idea. I'd also like some form of a cone or scoup on the end to
"force" some air in. The cone filters I've seen have a solid plate on the end.
Thanks anyway.

some cones are double, ie a holes down the middle too. All filtered in the end, obviously. these can stick out of the bonnet easily.

Ram air effect?
If that's what you're after it's wasted effort. It doesn't kick in till you get into 3 figure speeds and for a car engine
you'd need a scoop like a bucket. The engine will suck all the air it needs wherever you put the filter, they just run better on cool dense air.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Your right Pete, I only want the cold air.
It sucks it all from under the bonnet at the moment
