Brief Description:  Air filter box gets tube install and micro

Half of my time working today involved modifiying the new intake tube to fit perfectly in line with the engine TB. This wasn't easy because I didn't have the new engine mount on, nor was I actually mounting the engine so it was a real effort to line things up as close as possible. At the same time I was trimming and adding micro to the tube interior in order to get it as paint ready as possible before mounting it to the box. After several rounds of micro and Z-grip, she was ready. I placed her into position to align with the TB as best I could, then superglued her down. I then laid up a flox corner around the base and 1 ply BID tape. I then spread out micro around the exterior of the box.
In other news, after I removed the hatch, the FLOX lip was ready for trimming. A little time with a dremel and it was good to go. Next up will be the nutplates and emergency air door. Getting close to paint and firewall installation!
