Excellent information, I always presumed a loss. I don't think I have a choice, in my situation the shaker scoop is molded into my 'glass hood and with my Victor intake carb flange milled down 0.650" all I can get on top of my carb is the 9" diameter x 2.750" tall element with the 9" X-Stream lid. It all sticks up into the inside of the scoop itself with less than 1/2-inch around the sides and the wing-nut is about 3/4" below the scoop top. A 11-inch diameter will not fit !
