Something else the carb change affected was the scoop, Its now been extended 2.25" and I altered the shape of the opening slightly.








While I was extending the scoop I decided to add a finisher around the opening, this is made in 1/4" stainless rod and curved around an old alternator pulley. Once I had the shape I looked around Ebay for some mesh but couldn't find anything I liked, suddenly it came to me !!! I still had the offcuts from the aluminium Fairlane grille , Now you know why I never throw anything away !!!
Dug them out but not long enough to go the full width so I decided to weld the 2 halves together. I sanded the joint to a perfect fit and tig welded it, a little clean up with a file and it looked fine. A quick trim up and it was all fitted and dandy, matches the front grille, got a little bit of making good at the front but will do that later.
