Well now in the continuing saga of this retro conversion!
Seems stock airbox off ebay reguires placement forward of standard mounting tabs to get box side carb boots to mount up.
Any one encounter such before. Have another extra airbox and seems to be same problem.
Box shape seems fine and undistorted.
Boots are supple and placed in proper orientation.
I.E. the boots ending in part #'s 24 & 25 are in proper positions and all turned properly.
Same for engine side carb rubber. All marks are aligned.
If I place a 5/8 wood scrap between frame tubes pushing air box forward all fit is fine on both sides. All works that way save for crankcase vent tube gaps,
What gives?
