Engine bonnet clearence

[will_08]

Morning all

Just got my bonnet and sat it on my chassis, I was expecting my carb to touch, but my oil filler cap is too!

Now I've looked at more finished Haynes, I've noticed there's not many people with air intakes coming through the bonnet. I was fully expecting to have a k&n popping through, I kind of like it.

Anyone else had this before? I have no air scoop don't know if that makes any odds.

Cheers Will
