Thanks for the input Raymond. I didn't see anything that I thought would work on their web sight so I think I'll contact them.

Thanks Jalpa_Mike. I missed that one. I've sent them an email. Never know!

I wouldn't mind getting a set of the air filters like yours. Mine has the US air boxes which I am thinking about cutting up.

No Problem Ross. If worse comes to worse, and Eurospares has sold theirs, I can take measurements of mine for you.

but it does give you an unbelievable sence of acomplishment

Hi EarlyCat,
Mine can't be used with the velocity stacks (upper carb body). This allows air to be pulled across the top of the jets on the way through the throat. I don't know if this is a problem because I haven't driven the car yet but it could cause an issue at higher revs. I'll make sure you know when I've got more pictures of them. I'll make sure to let you know when I don't need them anymore. Also, the accelerator linkage is routed on the valve cover on the euro engines vs running through the US air boxes. I'm trying to figure out how to make a conversion kit.

Thanks for the comments abunawafff. It's a great feeling to finally own a Lamborghini (that needs some work).

I'm now working on fabricating new sniffer tubes. I've got a set on loan from Evans Automotive from a US Jalpa. I'll make sure to add photos of that too.

You can cut up the air boxes on the US car. The linkage areas would have to stay, but most could go away. I conversion kit would be nice though. If it only takes a few hours to pull the engine I might want to tackle it this winter. Anyone else know how long it takes to pull the engine?

I found this first picture of the lower air filter plate mounted on the carb. This is how we found the Air filters mounted. Notice the velocity stack are missing.

The second picture shows the velocity stack back on the carb. Luckily the stacks were found in the trunk.

The last picture shows how the filter is supposed to be mounted on the velocity stack.

Thanks Evans Automotive for figuring this out and sending the photos!

Too bad it won't clear the engine cover.
