That looks nice, could you trace out a template and post it? I think it would be easy to cut it out of a piece of aluminum if you had a template.

Cheers. Well the way I see it, you can use stock studs and bolt holes, so you dont dont have to rivot into your body work! I mean how hard does that make working in that area having a huge piece of fibreglass there...

Looks hot... or should i say cool.
I see you removed the head light stopper.
Any ill affects after removing it?
Also i look into removing it to a while back but i seemed pretty hard.
What did you do to remove it?
Thanks

Looks amazing !!!
I just don't know if I could bring myself to cutting off the headlight stopper...
Frankly, I can't see the headlight moving up even at high speeds because the cone filter is jammed in there behind it ....
Really awesome job ....
You could be like Laust and have every Rennlister buy you design
regards

And now for the data!
Notes:
The ambient temp when testing the "with partition" was 13.5 degrees C. The ambient temp when testing the "without partition" the ambient temp was 18.0 degrees C. So thats a 4.5 degree C difference. So keep that in mind when reading the charts. I have mapped IAT against MAP.
Also note I have 931 vents which I tested to reduce intake temps by a few degrees as well which influence the absolute results but were not changed between tests.
There was a one hour time delay between tests.
All data was collected at 80 degrees engine temp
WITH PARTITION
The typical cruise was consistently +1 degree C over ambient
The MAX degrees C was 28 or 15 over ambient
WITHOUT PARTITION
The typical cruise was consistently +6 degreec C over ambient
The MAX degrees C was 39 or 21 over ambient
So, it works great by the looks of things! Typically there was a 5 - 6 degree C improvement over the MAP range AFTER the ambient temp difference has been accounted for!

Close to Template
Here is a close approximation to his design.
It was vector created.
However it is based on his picture. Which is not taken directly over the piece and may have some camera lense distortion. I used the frame to the coolant overflow lip for size reference. This template should get you close, I have yet to try it.
Good luck in finding paper large enough
I could not get it to upload so when you open this with Photoshop etc...check the path layer. you will find the vector template.
The height of the back side line should be 22cm. Once you scale it up you should have an accurate enough template to start with.
WARNING. This requires sizing. Printing from this picture will not get you accurate dimensions. You must scale the vector layer.

nice job! keep in mind also the rubber gasket thicknesses. The top gasket is about 25mm in gauge and 10mm approx of that is sunk into the fibreglass. Also the "holes" for the intake and water hose have a 5mm approx width seal.

I had a cool name for the template but figured it was not mine to name.
I was going with the T-Rex..something along the lines of a fossilized skull.
Which it kind of resembles.
Pteradon -because it makes your car fly...ok not for me to name.
I took into account a slight insertion depth of the rubber gaskets.
You would cut inside the black lines after it is scaled.(Outside stroke)
Like I said it should get you close enough.
Alright here is the cool, but not practical idea. Use Lexan for the box!

Hopefully people will get some use from your work! Lexan or perspects will be used for the top. Its a one step at a time thing! I tried making a box to start with, but it was too hard with the fllter this size. I dont want to copromise on filter size at all. As it is this one runs out at 440BHP from what I gather.
