Fairly recently, Brian Little shared an intake air system by cutting an oval hole in the stock air-filter box and inserting a rubber plumbing union (3" or 4"??). Someone was concerned about rain entering the filter box and Brian indicated that he had had no problem, as of that date.
I was thinking, on my way to work today, that a small-sliding door made of, perhaps, a fairly thin (tapered at the end, if necessaryt)stainless steel or alunimum (polished for slickness, if necessary, shaped like the oval rubber part, but a little larger, and operated by a push and-pull cable (with a knob) could possibly solve this uneasiness. I would play with this, but right now, I am working diligently on my 260 and I do not have a 280 hood for my 240 that needs lots of work. Think about it. Ernest (240/260Z)
