Blocking hole in tinware.

Does anyone know if there is a part I can buy to block off the tinware hole on the left , I have Hurd of people bolting 2 jam jar together but I was wondering if there is a proper way

 

Not sure what the question is but theres a significant bit of tinware missing there chap!

 

No sorry I have the tin, I just want to block the hole as I'm not using the standard air box

 

Just taken a pic with the tin fitted this hole....

 

I see!!. Guess jj lid either side, bolted through and painted black would look neat!!!

 

i have cut a piece of thin steel,[with snips]
its extended from the hole up to the tinware screw
painted it on both sides and it is held down by the tinware screw nearby

 

seriously fecking jam jar lids ? why not cut a circular piece of steel and weld it in the hole ?

 

hahaha what about two steel circles, one with a captive nut on the bottom, then bolt together.

at least then you dont have jam jar lids in your engine bay and it will sit more flush.

 

vw make just the part

circular disc from front valance of beetle. If its too big file it to the right diameter. They already have a threaded stud welded to the back and a second disc to hold it in.

simples

 

Tins are already off , post it and I'll weld it for him ,

 

ridiculous ,next you will be cutting up a tin of beer and wrapping it round your coil....

 

Erm. How about just a cut of the foam that seals the tinware? That's what I use.

 

Because (a) I had no welder, (b) I can't weld, (c) I had no steel to cut a circular piece out of and (d) there were loads of jam jar lids in the recycle bin. It did the job, better than allowing hot air into the cool zone.

 

Alternatively you could just leave the holes, I have.
