Noticed these are becoming more sought after. Alan how difficult would these be too make or are they too large to be printed?

Should be an easy 3d print. It can be divided into parts and glued together. Ultimate Size is not an issue.
Need a scan of one though.. to base a print file on.

Hi al
I don’t have one to hand, it’s not for me it was I’d noticed a few wanted ads for them and I know they’re getting more difficult to locate and or expensive and I thought I know someone whose a little bit of an expert at these things 👍😁

Don’t forget the snorkel would also be required ..even if the lid shell can be printed. whole air-boxes are still ‘reasonable’ ..in relative terms..
On my list , the Coil cover/loom tidy is the next to get done but will probably need a support structure printed and then removed in post print tidying.

Completely forgotten about the snorkel Pete as I’m not standard guess that make it more difficult. Yes coil headstock cover would be another.
I only mentioned it as I’d seen a few posts asking for them.

Don't understand any trepidations. The snorkel is a dead simple print. likely a 2 hour one.
Even a Komplete Airbox assembly (I certainly would IF I was in need ) can be readily printed (once scanned) even using Petg if wanting Life of the Bike durability.
Currently printing a FW ta152H 1:12 scale RC airplane (https://3dlabprint.com/shop/focke-wulf-ta152h/ ) If curious.
A Yamaha airbox would be Very Simple by comparison.
Depends entirely on what is
familiar /comfortable doing I suppose.

Good read up on the fw152. Glad there’s still one about to restore.

The LC snorkel is made of rubber, presumably to make it flexible for fitting/removing. Even then it can be a bit of a fight.
It will need a bit of redesign if its going to be made from rigid plastic.
