Watching closely, as I've toyed for years with undertaking this same task.

Davido, have you given any consideration to laying it up as one piece rather than two seperate molds, then melting the foam blank out with Xylol or something similar? I'm curious to hear anyone's take on the pros and cons of these approaches.
Is this thing working? Is this thing on?

 That's the plan Buzz. Original idea was a 2 part tank with a seam but I binned that idea in favour of the 1 piece. I will cut a panel in the bottom of the finished tank to get access to the foam and break it out. Then refit the panel and lay another layer or two over it to seal everything up. No seams. Breaking the foam out rather than dissolving as the foam wont dissolve completely. There would be a sludge left over which I don't fancy in my newly resined tank.

The carbon is calling 
 
The carbon will have to wait until the festive season is over and life and work get back to normal. Also there is a new fridge and dishwasher ahead of it on the list!!!
 It will be done over the winter though and will be ready for fitting (along with the refurbed carbs) come spring.

 I,m also wondering if its worth to try and lower the frame cross bracing to allow the original airbox to be refitted. Bin the pod filters altogether???

Keep watching Davido I have a plan to do something with the stock airbox on my 82 as with the bracing and mono shock it won’t fit
