Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
Well it's functional now. The box of Moroso air pan foam was the last component needed to finish up the air filter base plate I've been working on to seal the throttle body to the hood. First step was to make a cardboard template about 2 inches wider than the triangular cut out in the hood (black line around the hole in above pic).
I taped the template firmly to the hood and then set the hood back onto the car so the air filter stud in the throttle body would punch a hole in the cardboard. This gave me an accurate starting point for fabbing up the base plate. I cut the plate out of a sheet of aluminum, marked the hole for the throttle body and cut it out with a jig saw. I then attached the plate to the underside of the cast alum air filter base with rivets.
