Hi all, I obtained a second hand airbox cover to experiment with as I've seen lots of various opinions on whether a motorsound airbox actually makes much difference (sound wise that is!) so rather than destroy my existing one and regret it today I had a go at replicating the holes in the side (dimensions of which were given by a nice guy on rennlist who has a geniune one)
now before anyone says it, yes I could have gone to the effort of making a nice steel template drilling jig but I thought i'd do it a slighter different way as I wanted to trial it quickly.
So, I did a quick drawing of both sets of holes (one area is larger than the other) and printed the on tracing paper to use as a template, stuck the templates to airbox, centre mark the holes in the airbox (i used a trepan drill point for this) then used a trepan drill (with the aim to eliminate the need to de-burr after) to drill each hole.
it worked quite well and in all took about 40 mins. this weekend I will fit it to see what the end result is IF ANY!.
some pictures below help show the process. Ill be back soon with an update
