Build Day 29- Airbox

Day 29- Airbox


Airbox

Started with measuring the intake trim to length, then cutting it using a hacksaw. I then heated the trim in some boiling water in order to make it more malleable, then fitted it to the box. It was hard getting the trim over the edge especially over the tight radius, and where the joins are between the two sides of the plastic. After this it was fairly straightforward fitting the box, despite there being zero word about the box in the first place.

Warming the trim.


Eventually on, takes quite a lot of force.

Then Bobbins in place.

Then attach the box to the bobbins.

To be honest this doesn't look right, but not really any other way this can go on...
The other end has a large jubilee clip clamping the other end to the plenum.

All in place with the filter in place and the long bolts tightened into the rivnuts.

Speed Sensor

To finish I tidied the speed sensor cable behind the rear bulkhead.

Just a couple cable ties to stop it moving. No idea what the other connection is for.
