Air Filter Shroud

Next on the list in the quest to satisfy the engineer... shroud over the pod filter.

In NSW, we need to create a shield around the air filter to prevent any petrol fumes in the engine bay being ignited by the flames of a back-fire.

The Impala (being the tank that it is) had plenty of space to route the intake and to fit the pod filter in the front left corner of the engine bay. So all we needed to do was fold up some gal sheet to enclose said corner of the bay.

Time to get the carboard out...

Rivnuts are my new best friends... brilliant for this sort of work.

Then paint (satin black of course) and final fit...
