The fit of the rubber connector between carburetor and air filter box is rather tight. Are you able to test this before you go into mass production?

Mine is an original one, with volks filter, last one I saw for sale was £250, I know mine needs a battery frame brazing to it, as the old one was removed, I can supply a couple of photo's.

I am in the process of fitting the air filter manifold so it's all good. Am modifying the actual air filter element and the access cover as well . Will keep posting as I upgrade and or modify.
Same with battery carrier am working on that part now.

Hi All,
I am just wondering if the E10 fuel would harm the fibreglass airbox?

Is the GRP likely to get soaked with jollop? The outside will be painted of course.
