Default mould

It needs to be about 0.75 to 1 cm shorter at the bulkhead end to clear the resevoir properly

It does make a lot of difference drawing the air from the front of the grill area. it also has a Ram Air Effect if the plenum is made correctly.
I fitted an early Volvo Competition kit to my 67 1800. It was said this couldn't be done with a RHD car.
It is tight and there was no way i could fit the proper intake filter that came with my kit. However, that volvo filter also took its air supply from the engine bay. I ran for some years with Foam filters but spit backs from the carbs ate a few.
I took the decision to make a plenum with a cold air draw with a cone filter in the nose cone.
I had to do some massaging with the mould buck and it had to be produced in 3 haves ghen joined on completion. A lot of work.
Induction noise is kept to a manageable level, in summer the temps inside the plenum compared to the engine bay are around a 20-25degree difference.

That's a nice looking job, very impressive.
I have been looking around for a suitable flat K&N filter and think the one from a BMW Mini Cooper S Turbo looks about the right size and would easily flow enough air.
I am working on another part for the Volvo at the moment but once its finished i will have a look at making an air-box to fit the twin SU's ..
