Charlie,
Tom Bowes wrote in and said something about gluing the rubber sleeve to the airbox. Got any idea what the hell he is talking about. I bet it works for Tom but I can't figure how he did it.
Anyway if you and I do the sheet metal thing there is one thing I think should be done and that is use extra thick sheet metal. When we go to cinch up the sleeve on the extension with the hose clamp even moderate tightening of the hose clamp could crush the sleeve and the extension. Those hose clamps are strong. Another idea is to crimp the edges of the extension just like on the female ends of stove pipe. This makes even thin sheet metal a bit more ridgid. Just some thoughts Charlie. One other thing Charlie, do you have any ideas, step-wise how we are going to put the whole thing together even if it does work? In other words how would we everything connected up, what would go together first and what last? Best, Bob

Hi Bob,
What you describe is exactly what I intend to do next time I have the airbox off. It should be relatively easy to do, depending on your sheet metal skill level. Go for it! Cheers,

Charlie

Gentlemen,
Currently I have the traditional air cleaner system on my Ambo. , the round air filter, inside the metal air box, loosely connected to the rubber sleeve going to the carbs. The rubber thingy is connected with duct tape. Not a good situation. What I want to do is fix the weak spot in this system which is the loosely connected rubber sleeve to the metal air box. I want to make a metal collar that attaches to the inside of the metal air box and extends out and into the rubber sleeve so that I can put a large hose clamp around the rubber sleeve and cinch it down onto this new extension. Does this make sense? I'd rather not throw out the original air box and put on modern filters. Thanks, Bob
