Airbox again!


Tonight I fabricated the bracket that will hold the filter in position.  This piece will be fixed to the internal piece using rivnuts which will allow the filter to be removed for cleaning purposes.

I cut out the filter shape so as not to cover any of the filter element but to ensure it will hold the filter firmly in position.  The corners were bent and drilled and rivnuts fixed to the internal piece.  The other end will be held in by a small lip on the internal piece.

I fitted the internal piece again with sikaflex and rivets, ensuring that all gaps in the box were fully sealed.  It doesn’t look too pretty buy hopefully it should be airtight and not affect the smooth airflow through the box too much.
