This is my concern with the deep box, I think I need to get everything assembled and check space before I commit.

How often do you take your battery off - do you power your guitar with it at outside gigs?

the easy fix to that issue is a LHD conversion
Joking apart, are these airboxes well clear of Servos on LHD cars?

Seem to be. There's possibly a tiny bit more space but nothing to write home about.

The clearance issue occurs when you use a Cannon brand manifold. Those have inlet runners that are an inch longer than most other manifold variants. The airbox simply won’t fit due to the shock tower in that situation. Most other manifolds, such as Kameari/Harada Shoukai, Mangoletsi, TWM, FET, SK, etc., are fine. I have the Haradas for both my Zs. Airbox fits fine in the red one. Clears the battery fine too in the red Z.

I'm well aware Mr KThought it'd be good to make note for anyone reading!
I like the leading by example! [emoji106][emoji106]
Wow!! This is one of those rare moments that you are right!!! (You are married after all!)
I think this is all there is for now. we need to confirm with the manufacturer and then we'll be able to sort the orders.

Just an update.
I when to the fiberglassers yesterday to assess the quantity and quality of all the molds but also to make contact in person and get a feel as to whether they wanted to continue making parts for the club. There are lots of molds there (50) but a lot will be in poor condition and haven't been used for years. The company are happy to continue to make the parts for the club and I am happy to be a point of contact for that. I have made arrangements to go back there next week and spend a day trying to sort through all the molds and identify/label them. They are nearly all stored outside in a stinging nettle field and most haven't moved for 20 years. I have asked for a price to make 10 airboxes and will report back when I have this. Then members will have the option to order these via myself. These will be sold by the club at cost price.

Thanks for doing this John.
Yes, thank you John. It would be interesting to know what you consider worth saving and if they should be stored better. I would imagine some are quite big - my concern is that if we store these off site they are going to need transporting for each 'run' or even single sales.
You’re a good man John! Thanks for taking this on for the benefit of our members.
I hope you don’t mind but to help out, I did a quick run up the thread and can find the following interested parties - I counted 12. If I’ve missed anyone or if anyone else wants one, speak now or forever hold Franky’s piece:
