cdoggy81 and Bandit Ls-1,

Thought I'd share how I made my scoop. I was going to bend a piece of sheet metal or aluminum and use it as a base for the carb, but in order to drop it down enough it was going to be in the way of the fogger lines, and it was going to be a bizarre bend, not just a 90 degree bend, but a gradual slope. At this stage I could see bending a half dozen of these before I got it right. So to make life easy, I wanted something that would slide in and out of each other and adjustable. Once I had the scoop where I wanted it in reference to the fogger lines and how far the scoop was sticking out of the hood, I could then just drill through the solid stock and the tube and put a pin in it. Also when I'm at the track I can just pull the four pins and do a quick jet change.

It's not finished yet; I still need to put some black foam or seal around the edge to give it that factory look. I first welded the four alum. solid tubes to some 1/16th sheet then used epoxy to bond it to the fiberglass scoop (Shaker mount). Then to attach those to the motor I used 1/8" plate with alum tube for attaching to the valve cover bolts (Shaker mount 1). I'm sure there are a thousand easier/better ways of doing this, but this might give you some ideas on yours.

Later,
Brett
