Well well well... After my eyes came into focus on the air box instructions I realized I had already screwed it up.

Since I had already wacked the front off and them sliced and diced it to curve upwards.  I realized I had it

up side down.  So I started from scratch. 

 

I borrowed another V-131-B from my bud Rick who hadn't started his air box yet.  I made another set of the filter

locating tabs. Installed as I did before (right side up) marked the location to cut the snout off and then where to notch the

plate to allow the curve upward I wanted.

 

 

 

 

Got it all put together.

 

 

 

Bent the curve to match the cowling inlet.

 

 

Using the foam supplied I formed the duct to match the shape of the air box inlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then sliced the glass box to follow the shape of the top cover and align with the inlet on the Cowling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then threw a few layers of glass on this area to seal it up and strengthen it.

 

 

 

 

After filing the inlet hole to a little better shape I had a few thin areas so I added a couple more wraps of glass and Carbon since I had

a few strips of scraps laying around.
