Shop compressor maintenance over the weekend; several years ago I fabricated this small intake manifold and upgrade to a K+N cotton-gauze cleanable /reuseable air filter. This gets serviced every 6 months, using the K+N service kit. The dirt from 6 months use fills up the 5 gallon bucket in solid
black water. Not a trace of dust can be found inside the 3" dia tube (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

also made the Left + Right 3dgauto headlight mount brackets. I'm using the rear tail lamp 6mm thumbscrews as well/ quick disconnect from the Sheridan front body 'Clip when removal is needed.
The allen bolt sits in an existing 10mm size hole in the oe headlight bucket; easy job ! I made a sample of the brackets if anyone with a (Sheridan) body kit needs to replicate them.

Small variety of custom bracketing for: #16 oil supply line, snorkel tube, 3DGauto headlights, SQS shift control cable. Most of these rubber edge clamps came from Earl's Supply; when they actually had a self-serve store on Hawthorne Bl. stocked full of actual 'Take off equipment from boneyard aircraft.
Bullet Point 1) snorkel hold down.
2) Left and Right headlight brackets.
3) Under transaxle bracket for SQS shift cable/combo with #16 oil line.
4) #16 oil line, running in the location of right side motor-mount bucket/ unibody area.
Oil lines + shifter cable will both be encased in Goodridge fire-sleeve.

View from inside the wheel well. I ordered a couple of the black rubber 5-pin relay pads, as 3DGauto headlight wiring inter connects with those.
The 914 rear tail lamp housing Thumb screws work well, no tools required in that tight spot.
