Re: swiss cheesing the air box

["Julie Macfarlane" <juliemac57@hotmail.com>]

Actually he is right about the heated air.
Find the diameter of the air plate. It is eith 50mm or 80mm. This should be 
the area opened to allow air flow.
I am looking to find a rubber/tin connection that will duct the air from the 
front. The idea is not to force air down the pipe to the plate, but rather 
allow air flow upon demand from the engine.
Forced air could lift the plate & there for run rich.....
