No luck in the archives.

Then formed a fiberglass box with a 3" hose connection to the air intake. For the entry of the injection pump I formed a bowl with 3" connection to the pump. I'll be back from vacation in two weeks and send you a picture then.

When I'm solo I secure it in the rear seat, and when there's someone back there we reset it on the flap housing and his/her left knee. Works well and I'm happy.
