Yes, I was asked about the carb hat and it's orientation so they could make and position the tubes into the air stream. You see them the way they are because the cabs will be sideways mounted using the Shotgun scoop. So I had to tell them which way the carbs will mount. I determined that they will mount with the throttle linkage on both carbs facing the front, hence the tubes facing towards the linkage. I cut out a 1/4th inch aluminum plate to make the bottom plate of the scoop. I found some 1 inch aluminum spacers to mount that plate on over the carbs and they will get welded on once I determine the exact location the scoop will sit.
This is the carbs with the aluminum spacers.
This is the plate I made just sitting in the bottom of the scoop.
This is a look inside of the scoop sitting on the carbs with the tubes facing forward.
And the scoop on top of the carbs. Since I do not have the holes located and cut in the 1/4 inch plate yet I used the original stamped sheet carb spacers under the scoop just for mock up. You can see the new spacers laying on the plate in front of the assembly.
I have to talk to Dennis at CSU to see if I can shorten the tubes since the front carb tubes are close to the inside front of the scoop itself. Which could cause a different pressure affect seen by the front carb versus the rear carb.
