Cold air feed
Just thought I'd post this for anyone who has a classic with Morettes, and doesn't really want an induction kit (like me 
):
The ducting is 75mm I think, from the local motor factors. Got 3ft, cost under a tenner, very strong but flexible. The small bit of mesh was free from a mate.
Obviously only works with morettes, and I had to remove (or could relocate) the carbon can, and resonator (did that years ago). Got it mapped straight after so can't tell what difference it made, but when the engine bay is hot after a run, the pipe and airbox are ice cold.
The pipe is a perfect fit (length&diameter) into the airbox too.
Was cheaper than getting a new Morette lens to replace the old rusty one!

Yes mate I use a K&N - had the same one for over 4 years and it's still as good as new, I just thoroughly clean it once a year.
I'm just hoping I can get through the MoT with only one inner light - the inner ones normally come on on full beam, although the outer ones do get brighter - I think!

Yeah cheers RON, I think I'll give that a try. It's just that the outer ones only have one bulb from what I remember so couldn't see how they could do main & dipped beam? Just another thing to add to the complications come MoT time - along with the decat!

air feed / water
