+ | A K&N filter is used with everything else being fabbed. \\ | ||
+ | An 1/8" aluminum plate was used for the material. \\ | ||

+ | Trace the filter onto the aluminum sheet (whichever filter you will be using). \\ | ||
+ | Cut the piece with a jigsaw (best). \\ | ||
+ | Other cutting tools work also but the rotary blades create more heat and will melt the edges. \\ | ||
+ | In that case, cut outside the edges so you can sand back to the lines you made. \\ | ||
+ | Drill the holes for the carb mount and smooth all the edges. \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | Drill two holes in the plate for dowels (spacers) for the front cover (also created from tracing the filter). \\ | ||
+ | Cut a mounting bracket (this one is 1/4" thick) to mount across the dowels and tap the bracket for the size mounting bolts you choose. \\ | ||
+ | Align the outside cover on the assembly and drill a center mounting hole through it. \\ | ||
+ | You can then buy a long drill bit to assist in lining the center hole to the cross brace in the back. \\ | ||
+ | Then tap that hole for the size bolt you choose. \\ | ||

+ | Make sure you test fit along the way as it's being built. The bolts and spacers here made contact with the carb bracket. \\ | ||
+ | It was later fixed with shorter counter-sunk bolts to sit flush with the back face to allow proper gasket sealing. | ||
+ | You can leave the finish as it is, polish it, paint it or have it chromed. \\ | ||
+ | Either way it'll be one of a kind. \\ | ||
