I went about it a different way, I have the cowl grafted to a flat hood. It just has just enough clearance for the bug catcher. I would put a piece of sheet metal bonded to the bottom with only a small fitted cutout. Yours is lighter though.

Yes, It's not real obvious but I put a flat piece of aluminum in the opening on the underside and then made my airpan to match. If you do not have a tunnelram etc this should work. You did not say?

dragrcr97 has something I can consider. Dragula's is the next hood which I already have and gets the early P/S scoop

Fred I like the looks of something along these lines. Feeds air to carb from in front of radiator and you would still exhaust hot air out of the engine compartment out the back of the cowl hood.

Fred I would break a piece of alum about 6" ahead of
the carb/carbs at the same height as the air horns
going to the rear of the scoop... either have it sealed
to the hood or a separate part with foam... this would
also depend on if your using entries on the carb
