those cream cooper wheels look cool to me.
my opinion i suppose

Well... i'm just in from the shed.
Motor is bolted up.
Weber is on.
WEBER BOX TEMPLATE HAS BEEN MADE!!!
After many different 'tries' with some 0.6mm stainless i had lying around, i finally got the size i wanted .
It goes into the firewall about 40mm, which is at the reference line "10mm from the bottom of the nuts which hold the bottom of the speedo housing in"
-- (for those of you playing at home)

Off comes ze engine off the Brickworx truck





In goes ze engine with my new engine lifter (thanks Rod)





Can i have a peek a boo in the mirror?
I see you





From the outside





Then BAM!
The box will look something like that.
And my thumb looks something like that.


Questions? Anyone?

by the look of your nail, you need more calcium in your diet

I drink about 1L of plain milk a day.
I doubt i'm deficient in THAT area
But yeah i was applying pressure to the bit of metal - thats why its white where there isnt any blood

how much for a 998 manual

You can have my 1100, no weber or dizzy/rad, as is for 400.
If you want it.

i can give u $200

As a deposit, no worries

I'll talk business in PMs...

Back on topic now

How much clearance do you have around the filter etc? It doesn't look like much but that could just be the camera angle. You should make sure you leave enough room for the engine to move around, and they do move around a suprising amount.

Metal to burn, sparks to fly...

There is about 15mm + from the back of the air filter to the vertical bit on the weber box.
And about 40mm from the bottom of the filter and the horizontal part of the box.

I've got it under control..
And yep about the engine movement - I got a flexi put in my exhaust system for this exact reason

Weber "BOX" is made!
Woohoo thanks heaps Beanie
Steve paid me out calling it an 'ashtray' cos its unlike his massive air box that he has in his race car, so anything less is inferior

But it'll serve its purpose well - to seal the firewall up from where the Weber air cleaner needs clearance.

That's about it.
Now i have the fun task of cutting the whole out NICELY (there was a small *hack* cut into it, so i'm fixing it up)
I've started to cut it out a couple of mm from the line using an angle grinder, later i'll clean it up with a die grinder.
Make it nice

Now.... should i get it welded in? Or just screw it in so it can be removed at a later date, need that happen.
