I am not sure by any means, but something like this might fit. but it wont help performance as it will probably be drawing in hot air rather than nice cool air

Ok i will look into it i have considered loads of different ideas now and the most sensible one is the panel filter it will be to hard to re route all the vacuum pipes the are all relying on the original airbox but thanks anyway dude

I removed and cut the air filter box intake pipe. To my mind any pipe bolted to the side of a light is restrictive. I did however try and keep it's inlet as far from the radiator as possible

I got a piper cross one from dc performance and gust ran a duct from the spare bonnet vent to feed cold air to it
