40) Air filter bracket

Here's the template and the initial fabricated bracket that will hold the air filter to the firewall.


Here I've ground down the welds, and cut a super lightweight "Racing" hole :)


I'm welding in some studs to the firewall so this can bolt up easy. The attachment to the MAF tube is where it all connects up. I actually can't decide between welding in studs or nuts. Any recommendations?


Here's what it looks like all bolted up. The air filter and MAF will stay solid to the car and with the help of the bubble connection (not showing here) in the middle, the rest of it will move with the motor.
