I originally wanted a conical airbox from James Aircraft to sit in front of the Fuel Servo. I just could not get it to fit. So after multiple attempts, I ended up casting a square fiberglass box for a rectangular K&N filter. That also had some fitment issues, so I reluctantly modified the bottom of the cowling with a fiberglass blister to accommodate the final version. With this increased filtered surface area should give better flow, and maybe a little more HP?

Gull Wing Doors with Carbon Fiber Frames
I really wanted a light weight CF door covered in Lexan. I got what I wanted, but I'm not sure I would do it again. It was quite a job fabricating the CF door frames. I lined them with Kevlar to prevent galvanic corrosion and aluminum backers where there will be rivets. The handle came from Hendrick Manufacturing and are typically used on RV's.
