Re: [T3] Fresh Air Intake


I cut a slice from the air-box lump under the front hood to get good
access.  The tray is spot welded a couple of inches up from the lining
(weld dents easy to see), so I cut onto that flange, and used a wide
hacksaw blade to cut over the top.  After repair to tray and cover section,
I re-welded the section and finished it 'invisibly' as it's not covered.
Most of the US ones have a vinyl fabric cover, so appearance wouldn't be as
important.
