Mine is fine. I used the rubber mount from the standard induction kit, then used the jubille to hold it tight

On the standard airbox the crankcase breather doesn't go through the filters, it opens out (through some type of valve, not sure exactly what it is) next to the intake. Having an open breather pipe there like the photo above doesn't seem like the best idea to me.

Also I have 2 10mm vacuum tubes on the right of the engine opening out on the engine side of the filter, can anyone tell me what these do?

Apart from the noise is there anything to gain by fitting the bmc to an 8v? The standard air feed from the wing looks pathetically narrow to me, this could be improved with the bmc i'd say
