Re: EP80 Starlet Dash + Dual Carbs A15 (Fiji Islands)

If I had to make up an airbox/air filter set up I'd likely go down one of two routes.

Find a 4 cylinder bike airbox or truck air box and cut the holes were they needed to be and plug the any holes that don't line up. The same goes if you can find a parallel twin with carb spacing near yours.

If you can't find something close that can be had cheap than simply get some aluminum sheet and fold it up into a shoebox shape. Make the dimensions such that a common air filter fits in the top. Use some angle aluminum to hold the filter in place, cut 45 degree notches and bend it into a rectangle. Cut a couple L shaped pieces and rivet them onto the corners (buck the rivets flush on the underside) Then use spring clips to hold the angle aluminum done onto the top of the box. You can use silicone to seal the seems.

After you have the box made cut two holes for the carbs. You'll need to fabricate a couple of straps of aluminum to fit inside the box to bolt it down.

The only other method I can think of is sticking a salvaged new car airbox and run a pair of hoses to the carbs.
