New Air Cleaner

The new air cleaner arrived and was fitted in no time..... only problem is that the oval cleaners appear to come only in a natural aluminium finish for you to paint yourself.

The new cleaner somehow looks a little more aggressive:
It now stands proud of the bonnet but below the underside of the scoop:
With more than enough room for any engine movement!:
I also bonded the two bonnet skins with Sikaflex - leaving a small gap to make filling easier. That'll be the next job followed by more filing and sanding.

Now that fits a treat! You'll have fun painting in between the fins to match your Elite rocker covers ;o)
I have to agree it looks more at home in the cobra than the pan style.
Very nice!
