Thanks in advance to Tim and others who have documented their install.



Can anyone tell me what the two pre-punched or pre-drilled holes in the 

VA-131-B Air Box Top Plate are for? 



I initially thought it was for alignment of the top plate with the 

VA131-C mount plate but that doesn't work.  Now I'm thinking they are 

just some sort of tooling holes used in Van's fabrication process. 



The hole in the rear of the plate seems to be depicted on the "plans".  

The hole in the front isn't depicted but would probably be cut out as 

part of the carb heat door (which I don't need on my fuel injection setup).



Thanks

IIRC, those are just tooling holes.
