Here is the original mock-up. The inward curve is where the overflow-bottle would mount,
while still providing enough space for the filter to fully function.
I was guessing the entire time on how the overflow would fit, because I'm impatient and had only ordered it while I was building the box. I had most of the dimensions, but there was still a bit of guesswork I had to do.
Here's the filter being tested for size and angle. Everything looks good!
I originally used a screw and washer to hold it all in place, but later I decided that a plastic rivet
looked more professional.
Got the NSP Motorsports vinyl decal on. Looks good!
And here is the finished product. I think it looks great. I obviously don't have the reservoir
bottle installed here, but you can see where it is supposed to sit.
I noticed a 10* cooler difference in the engine temperature overall (as compared to before, where the filter was half-exposed, and half-inside the fender-well). It never goes above 175*, and the air flows smoothly through the box.
