Air box between inlet manifold & air filter housing not fitting correctly ?

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
What's the best way to fit the air box as it's clearly a tight squeeze & difficult to engage all four inlets.
I have a small cycle inner tube to fit inside to help keep the box from collapsing but it turning into a bit of a nightmare job.
I've already removed the battery & rear mudguard to get the battery frame & air cleaner  to improve finger access !

Update I've fitted the box but the middle two rubbers are only a third of the way on whilst cylinder 1 & 4 are fully fitted - this will have to do for now so I can get her running. I guess the air box has just deformed with age so might need replacement when I do the full rebuild.

Athame57:
You might want to consider buying new rubbers, age can make them brittle and it doesn't help them go on.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I have fitted new rubbers from DS the old ones were in very poor condition.
The photo show the best fit I can get to date.

Bryanj:
Thats because you have PD carbs(550K3) and the rubbers DS sells are for the older carbs and dont fit

Trigger:
They are 400 carbs Bryan  ;)
