valver cold air feed!

[Adams_16v]

iv got a bmc cda, and only just fitted it correctly (well sort of) just waiting for some proper ducting from DT!

anyway, iv took a foggie out to get a cold air feed goin into it! but the ducting im using is 70mm and the standard hole is about 2cm round! lol can this bracket be taken off or shall i just cut it wider?

any ther ideas welcomed!

Cheers!

where the oe air feed goes into the bay through a metal plate? If so thatll only take 50 or 60mm (cant remeber which) at a push so yes that will need cutting and the splash guard too.

no pics im afraid, mine is cut for 100mm so 70mm shouldnt be too difficult., that metal plate is tough though, drill a load of holes around the circumference to widen it and saw the excess out neatly, with 100 a lot of the splash guard needed to be cut back, but thats just trial and error to get the fit.

i wasnt actually too sure whether the plate could be removed by the way, but it seemed as though it could be important to the structure in a crash so i bolted some 5mm steel plate around the hole to give it some strength back, just in case.
