I trimmed the forward ends of the ramps to within 1/2″ of the final dimension and them marked them for the crossing bends. These bends allow the ramps to follow the slope of the cowl inlet. The ramp on the left side is pretty deep since the air filter will be installed here.
The ramp on the right side is quite a bit shorter since the #1 cylinder is farther forward.
From the back side, you can see that the ramp follows the slope of the cowl inlet. The ramp will get trimmed to be exactly flush with the inlet and a piece of baffle seal material will bridge the gap to prevent air from leaking.
I also trimmed off 1/2″ from the top of the Experimental Air throttle bracket so that I can have a little more knee room.
I’m going to have this TIG welded to the bottom of the instrument panel, flush with the front of the panel. I’ll grind the weld flat so that this will be a seamless transition once painted.
