The 1.6mm edge of the lower half has a 3mm flat bar border welded around it so the filter is effectively sitting on a 4.6mm edge.

For the dimensions, I'm not sure it's a good idea to copy this sort of thing exactly.
It took me 10 mins to make the cardboard mock up but I trimmed it a fair bit with scissors to make it fit right.
I first cut a piece the same size as the filter to make sure I didn't buy a filter I couldn't use.
Once you have it right, it's easy to transfer the shape to metal, especially as the width will be the width of the filter anyway
Here's the inside of the lid

Very helpful. Cheers. And the panel filter you chose? Why that one? Size? Price? Availability? Sorry what is it out of? You probably have that in the first post!
So I could probably fold that edge rather than welding a strip.
Just re read the first post. Cheers. Great thread mate.Quote:

Heya bloke! If you still have the pattern and I can induce you to build another I'd be happy to part with the necessary.Quote:

You'd be surprised how simple it is if you buy a filter, grab some cardboard and ducting tape and get to work with the scissors.
This thread was meant to provide inspiration so get inspired and get stuck into it :)
I should add, it seems to be working really well with the Mamba (TD05H copy) 16G/6cm I've just fitted.

Ok so I can't buy my way out of this one. In that case I shall become inspired and have a crack!Quote:

Very nice work buddy! Very impressed espicially with limited tools...
Just wondering if u have tested how well it seals???
As if the DIY air box wasn't enough inspiration to build, you go and throw in the DIY panbrake too! Thanks for the efforts of the writeup! You inspired me.
