Does anyone have the diameter for the airbox plug or a part number? I got the smaller ones for the Carb 4 intake.

I used a cap from one of Mrs PieEater's cosmetic bottles for mine and I let AndyW have the cap from my visor cleaner spray bottle to do his, just used some silicone on the inside to make sure the fit was airtight and some gaffer tape on the outside to make sure it stayed in place, both have been fine since. So bottom line is you'll probably have something suitable knocking around at home without having to buy anything special.

Cheers PieEater, will scope out the other halfs cosmetic stuff

Been a while since I bought the blanking caps from Steve but have only just tried fitting them. Only one seems to fit. Have measured the inside diameter and the one that fits is 12.5mm and the three that don't are 12mm. Measured one of the outlet pipes and it is 12.3mm. The one that fits doesn't slide all the way down and seems to be slightly tapered internally. Looks like some fettling is required.... hey ho.

I had the same problem but some help from a lump hammer, Viking power & a lot of harsh language I got them fitted in the end. Let's just say they are never coming off !! Seems like they just needed that 0.2-0.3mm enlargement.

Hi,


I used this for the airbox blank off, it was not a tight fit but used some silicone sealer.

Hey guys. Just a quick question. I'm looking for a temporary solution, until I decide whether to completely remove the AIS or not. Would cutting the AIS vacuum hose connected to the carb inlet and blocking both holes with a screw disable the AIS, or not. Can anything go wrong/broke by just pluging that hose on both (cut) ends and not removing the AIS at the same time. I'm just looking to get rid of the popping sound on deceleration, and would like to see if it's worth buying the block off plates, as I already changed my spark plugs with AIS fitted.

Just got round to fitting the caps after a bit of fettling on my mates lathe...

Hi,
Are you still making the caps for the AIS removal.
Would be very interested if they are still available.
Many thanks.

Viv,
You'd need to pm stevegixer.He's the guy who was able to get them made.

Hi all, i was thinking of pulling of the AIS, i am ok with tapping and fitting bolts but had a thought, use exhaust goo and push in a  12mm spigot, will this work...............or is someone on here still selling removal kits?

Quoting so people can read - really hate the way the software these forums use auto resizes text.

IMHO if you're OK with tapping I would do this as although it will take a bit more time and effort you know it will be permanent.
