            Hahahahahaa that made me laugh !! I think its SAFE to say i only did the front ones

            I still have the kit in the back yard, would have sold it but i dont think there will be much buyers.

            Heres the pic, Its going to sit as you see it in the pic over the carby. However i need to extend the rear of the box, and then close it somehow. That 'somehow' is the part that is killing me !!

              Almost looks like you tipped a toilet on it's side and took a photo close up?

                  You're on the money.

                  What i intend to do with it, is place it over the top of my carby. As it has a 3" opening, i can then lead that to a Pod filter. Kapeesh?
                  However, i cant get an enclosure to fit the back of it, so that i can close it off.

                  Also what glue can i use to hold plastic together, but also be heat resistant?

                    Plumbers PVC cement.. Or conduit cement.

                    If it's PVC on both parts, you can use MEK, which basically "melts" the material and bonds it together.
