xcarguy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Will do. I'm assuming there is interest on your side to get one as well? I also emailed Dean at BirkinPerformanceCars.com, and we'll see what comes back on both accounts. I'll update when I have more. Duane, Being that I'm a former Birkin owner, it’s really just my curiosity that's driving me. Back when I owned my car, I remember looking at that Aussie beast many times and drooling over all the CF. I think the scoop will compliment the shark teeth nose. :devil: . . . . . . :cheers: Edited September 29, 2014 by xcarguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackal Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bryn from Australia got back to me and said she has renewed her search for these parts again. Apparently there are a few in S.Africa available and may be up for grabs. I mentioned there may be other interest besides just myself, does that sound about right?

super7guy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi, My only concern with outside air intakes is noise, if you are running on a track that has noise limits. In San Diego, at the Q, we are limited to 93dv@50'. I had to move the air intake into the cockpit to reduce the intake noise which can sometimes exceed the exhaust noise.

And here in SoCal, particulate damage to the rings from sand and/or grit is also a concern if driven on the street on a long term basis. This is the air cleaner / scoop that we made this spring for our '62: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escondidoron Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) And all finished: [img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5579/14069512548_872d0bd88d_b.jpg[/img] It is MUCH quieter now and the air box w/ "scoop" ensures a continuous cool / fresh air supply to the air cleaner.

escondidoron Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That really is a terrific piece of fabrication work. Good job, thanks for sharing. Thanks. I wish that I could say that I fabricated it on my own. I worked with a young man named Jake Krotje here in the San Diego north county area. The pictures were taken in his shop, The Flying Dutchman Company. Very nice fab work! . . . . And . . . . . What's that sitting next to the Seven? Boattail? The other car in the picture is a Kurtis 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
