First attempt with aluminum fairly successful. Plan to do another with corrections

Sorry Bill, but I don't see the point of your exercise.
How much work involved now if you have trouble with one carb?

Trouble? As in having to remove one? Should be easy. Just a bunch of screws hold the box in place. Maybe 5 minutes to remove

I mean you would need to remove the plate and all of the ram tubes to remove one carburetor if you had say a bad needle and seat, is that correct?

Bill - I'm assuming it's an airbox similar in concept to those fitted on the original Daytonas, yes?

Similar, but attached beneath the air horns instead of the carbs. I’m going to replicate this
Today I finished plotting all the dimensions for the base plate on some heavy duty poster board material. All dims are 1:1 scale
Next up will be to transfer them to a sheet of .060 6061 aluminum |

Yes, that's correct Glen.
Seems a lot of work to me, only to make it harder to work on down the track.
Mechanics view here, and I have had many Weber setups.

Bill, just out of personal interest, I found this picture of the "air box" on COB 6008 in its earlier days....
