The air box could be mounted back to front. Pic just for some ideas.

Looking at your set up is of interest as the 4/4 is running a Lotus Twin Cam. The trumpets in your picture look quite a bit smaller in diameter and this is something else I am looking at to try and make more room. It also opens up more options for the gauze filters.

I don’t think an air box would fit without some major surgery to the wings and bonnet, which I don’t want to do.
