Hi guys.

Trying to get my car ready for a rolling road in april. Top on the list is a air box for my bike carbs.
heres the problem:


so the problem is i can't bolt anything to the carbs. on the bike its done with a rubber connecting peace built in to the air box. so i need to make a base plate with some rubber type connectors. this kinda thing:


when fitted:





So now comes to making it for real. I can't work out how i can fix some samco type short hoses to the base plate to then build the box off.

Help?

Thanks

cant you attach to the screws that holds the ram pipes on and put them in the airbox.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Dare I ask, what did the bike use as std to fix the carbs to the air box?

Can you cut up a std one and then make it work?

Can't use the screw on the On the ram pipes as the ram pipe is part of the inside of the carb it self.
The bike airbox has 4 rubber connects which clampped to the carb and bolted to the air box but there made as 1 bit from what I can tell.
