I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with these but I'm trying to fit the standard airbox back on my twin point and the filter housing is miles bigger than the throttle body. Does anyone know of a gasket or adaptor that fits in this space? I rang minisport and they said it doesnt have one which is odd as it will be sucking in dirty air from the engine bay then

Anyone got any ideas

	If at first you don't succeed, cut some more metal out.
