Dantheman Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Air horns are slightly larger. If that will make much difference I can use a stronge epoxy to build and resize the air horn bore to match. I am planning on fiddling with this over the weekend. Closing the gap that exists on the mounting measurements. Likely cutting the mounting area and sliding inward then weld, detail grind and clean up repair. Wow, this should be easy. I don't think I will cut spot welds and seperate all parts. Just cut through both layers as a unit. This will move the horns inward a little over a 16th. Can't imagine this to make much difference. Please correct me if you have a better idea. Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have done that a few time ,cut 1/4" and weld back together , only had to drill one hole for outer cover mount, to mount down ,or I made aluminum flat cover for air cleaner . Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 My plan is to try and have it look as stock as possible. Aluminium plate covers are a really cool custom look though. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 A12 with gx manifold is 7 1/8 from center to center on main bores. Make that closer to 7 1/16" Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Box has been cut and welded back. Now do I need a single resivour break master? Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Does it fit? If not then probably :) Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Box interferes with the master. I feel like I'm changing the spark plugs through the tail pipe. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Haha yep... Guna need a single master or additional mods to the box. My aluminum plate box is tight at 2.25" deep. Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I got say Joel, you got a pretty nice box. HaHa. If I can't find a single res master I will copy yours. If there's no copy wright on it. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 fits on a dual just barely clears the bleeders ...stop being a pussy Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ouch... Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Looks like the lines will interfere. Can I drill and tap then mover the lines to the other side. That would solve the problem. Or a 90 fitting to snug the line closer to the master. Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Jayrock, the pictures you posted of the red car have the bleed lines on the outside of the master. Did you move them? If not, what car is that master from? Fender looks like a 521. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 its a truck so my comments are just sattire as a ruse to make this like the ratsuns facebook page... haven't tried them on a car ... either way i love the look ... really wanted a sss aircleaner but i like te open look of a roadster air cleaner Quote Link to comment
Nuclear Water Boy Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have a single master cylinder designed for the 510 using SU's if your interested hell I'll never use it as I'm running ZX stuff. Quote Link to comment
Dantheman Posted November 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Nuclear water boy, thanks for your offer and I may take you up on that. I found shorter bleed nipples but the clearance is still a little tight for my comfort. But at least for now it fits with out a filter in it. I think the 240z master has the bleeds on the other side. Still looking into things. Quote Link to comment
