Thanks Dave, much appreciated. That's the same size as the RS1800 one, which I guess isn't really surprising.
I'm never going to get it to fit sensibly, so custom intake here we come! I need to have a really good look at the engine mounts at some point though, as there is evidence that a Ford air box was fitted at some point and it absolutely will not fit now. If anyone wants an air box (apart from Bill, obviously, as he's having Dave's!), with slightly used filter, all the clips, but no intake pipe or pipe from the MAF sensor to the throttle feeder, please let me know.
