    When I made my Corvette duct copy of the 68 Buick duct, I guessed at the demensions. I'm putting on a larger air cleaner and will use my duct till the original copy is made by Frank.

    What are the original pattern measurements?
    Need to know so I don't overcut my new aircleaner.
    Will purchase the clone whem it is ready for market.

    OK,

    I didnt own one at the time I posted that, but thankfully a fellow board member offered up his car to me.

    Ken,
    I have had several wonderful 68s, and have been looking for the right one for some time. Finally found it with the help of another board member.
    And you betcha man, I am proud of it

    Frank, are the metal pieces your own design /addition to this assembly ?
    My set up has no pieces like your pic.

    You should have the curved one for the air cleaner. I made the other one for firewall support. The rubber will cover it. I will be selling all three pieces in a kit to add on to your air cleaner. Frank

    Years ago I made one from a corvette duct. I tried to match the original blueprint when cutting my firewall.
    So.......questions:

    * What are the hole cuting demensions at the firewall flange?
    * Is the photo shown above (from David G), the exact reproduction part, or an original?

    Does this just draw air from the front tub area or is there a box that will have to be built to direct the air down to it? Looks like a quality set-up. :TU:
