Looking for ideas and pics of a good way to have the hood sealed to a pan and get air directly to the carb. It’s a Glasstek fiberglass hood, it’s completely open under the scoop. When I had a stock hood, I cut a coffee can size hole and made a foam ring to seal to the bottom of the hood. Going to hopefully come up with an idea to fabricate or purchase something nice. Thanks all! Wally.

A large square of aluminum attached to the air cleaner base, foam perimeter to seal to the hood. Or, same deal attached to top of the carb with a U-bracket/stud/nut. Or, bond the aluminum to the hood itself, hole of appropriate size/location to clear carb/cleaner
